Our galaxy cluster is in a void. There are still plenty of stars in our own galaxy that should be able to support life.
Even if we were in a more densely populated area of the universe the next galaxy would still be millions of lightyears away.
Technically the nearest galaxy to us doesn't have a name, just a designation, and is only like 10,000 stars, but it's currently about 10,000-15,000 light years away, so we're actually closer to the center of that galaxy than we are to our own, and possibly were closer to everything in that galaxy than we are the center of The Milky Way. The Milky Way is expected to absorb that galaxy into itself in the next few hundred million years though, IIRC.
Also Andromeda and The Milky Way are already "touching" each other.
