Having trouble fitting into my neighborhood

For context I am a mid20F, single and living alone. I purchased my home last summer and love it. The rest of my block is either families or older couples, and nothing is “bad” but I feel like an odd man out. When I moved in I had family matters and wasn’t around much for a few months and coming back I kept to myself/indoors a lot, suddenly it’s been 9 months and feel I missed a chance to introduce myself. My neighbors don’t ignore me if I catch their eye but I initiate. I have a different lifestyle and am respectful but I feel I gave off a “don’t talk” vibe. I am new to all this and would love ideas to break the ice!
