SaraLin, I think your conclusion is the right one. Keep in mind, that if that new neighbor is trans they will pick up on the signs in you whether you openly admit it or not. We all have the ability to detect that in others even though cisgender people may be clueless to the indications we leak out unintentionally (or intentionally). In time, you may have a great friend and neighbor who really understands you allowing the two of you to engage in some conversation that would never happen with a cisgender neighbor. I think that would be really special.
