LA QUINTA, Calif. -

A new social networking site may bring the Coachella Valley closer together. It's called Nextdoor and it's only for you and your neighbors. It's quickly becoming the way to say hello.

In the days of Mr. Rodger, people found it easy to get to know their neighbor, but nowadays life gets in the way.

"A lot of people pop into their garage and shut the door and they go out in the back where they're living space is and swimming pools and you don't see them a lot," said La Quinta resident Doug Lang.

"We don't have a club house, a golf course or a community pool, therefore it is a little harder," said La Quinta resident Joy Hall.

Now a new website wants to change that. It's still a beautiful day in this La Quinta neighborhood, but instead of knocking on doors, people click, swipe and post.

"We are not here all of the time so it's wonderful to get to know people quickly and easily," said Lang.

"This particular block we were already very friendly, but we didn't know anybody else so I think it's really nice to get to know other people too," said Hall.

The site works very much like Facebook, where you can post information, pictures, items for sale, party invitations, even join groups.

"So far we had a little meeting with the ladies last week and we had a get together, a cocktail get together in the park on Friday and we are going to do some other things," said Hall.
