You can't believe everything people say, because some people thrive on gossip and exaggeration.
However you could go round and ask if she would like to come round for a coffee/tea. Just say you have not had the chance to know each other and as you are neighbours would love it if she came round for a natter and a cuppa.
See what she says, you could get her talking at the door even if she declines coming for a drink.
Heated Brush recommendation,please.
