The group of homeowners at the looped end of a street that form their own mini-society. Neighborly ties run deeper than "borrowing a cup of sugar". Once you're in the cult, you stay in.
Paul: Have you seen much of the Johnson's lately?
John: No, ever since they moved into that cult-de-sac, they've been spending all of their time at neighborhood book club meetings and family mixers.

The all encompassing grasp of ones neighborhood, especially a cul de sac, to influence the members thoughts, feelings and actions.
I bought this car to please the cult de sac.
