Ehhhh - I think it happened a lot more in the 50's, 60's & even 70's when it was more common to have a lot of stay-at-home moms. My mom is really good friends with about 4 or 5 of our neighbors & has been for almost 40 years. They've even taken vacations together.
I don't think it happens as much anymore - I mean, I'm friendly with my neighbors, but we don't hang out. Well, we did start hanging out with this one couple, but I have since determined that the wife is a bit of a psycho, so I'm trying to keep my distance as much as possible! Anyway, most moms work nowdays in the US, so there's not as much time for chatting over coffee, IMO.
