Mixed use neighborhoods are usually more compact, with less sprawl. With density come benefits like new and exciting businesses and a lively street with a lot of visual interest – where  residents no longer have to get into their car for every errand or social engagement . 

People in mixed-use environments may feel less of a sense of isolation  as places abound to walk, drink a cup of coffee, buy a loaf of bread, etc. where one might see other people and/or interact with them, as opposed to staying cooped up in their house or apartment because there is nothing to do outside of it.
