Strong evidence exists that American suburbia often leads to increased feelings of isolation among those living in its realm. In particular, a younger generation has come of age with few social connections beyond family and friends from similar socio-economic classes. This text attempts to understand how young adults in an affluent suburban environment interact with their neighbors. A current literature review is presented, followed by an analysis on ten in-depth interviews conducted subjects living in wealthy suburban enclaves. It was found that among the subjects, many indicate severe problems communicating with older adults, imagining themselves taking a leadership role in their community, and developing broad social ties in their neighborhood. Few feel the blame lies in the physical space they inhabit, in fact some agreement was present that the arrangement of their living space contributed to creating opportunities to develop connections with others in their neighborhood.
