Hello, I hope you'll understand what I want to say, but I have no idea if I can say it this way:

Where is Brian?
1/ He went over to the neighbour's.
2/ He is at the neigbour's

or is more common

1/ He went over next door.
2/ He is next door.

Which idiom is natural? Thank you.

    Note that the two sets of statements are not precisely the same. "Neighbors" includes everybody in the neighborhood and not just "next door."
