Speaking as someone who has moved several times, the usual way is indeed co-workers and neighbors. The fact that your co-workers are not the type of people with whom you can socialize says more about your job and co-workers than about your approach to the problem of making friends.

Either the company or the department or your co-workers are not right: if your job and your company really suited you, you would find some compatible co-workers, even if it takes you a year or two.

Note: I lived for a while in the UK where my co-workers tended to go to the pub (while I don't drink, so... ) but we simply gossiped a lot at work and at the pub (overpriced orange juice or soda, here I come!) so it did not prevent me from making casual friends even though if going out it was always to the pub or the odd wine bar.

Same with neighbors: I have rarely made friends with neighbors, but I have often made friends with my housemates. Co-location is often a great way to keep your costs down and find accommodations with better locations and nicer furnishings while making true friends. If you are lucky of course. Seriously, give co-location a try, you may be pleasantly surprised.

And speaking as someone who has met a few people at conventions: I really don't recommend them as places to find friends. To meet online friends by appointment, yes. To meet strangers hoping your common interests will lead to friendship? No.

On the contrary, I would recommend you be extra careful when meeting strangers at fandom conventions unless they are pre-existing online friends.
