Community Building: Events and Gathering: Organizing community events encourages interaction and friendships, turning neighbors into a supportive network. Beautification Projects: Enhancing shared spaces not only improves the property's aesthetic but also instills pride among residents. Support Local Initiatives: Collaborating with local businesses and services can bring essential amenities closer to home, enriching the community’s lifestyle. Being a landlord isn't just about the financial returns, it's about the satisfaction of contributing to the community's welfare and seeing your tenants thrive in a dynamic environment.

🏡 Fostering Community in Multifamily Housing 🏡 In today's landscape, community is vital. As residents increasingly seek not just a place to live but a vibrant community to belong to, property managers and owners are reimagining engagement strategies to create meaningful connections. 🌟 Why Community Matters: Connected residents renew leases, spread positive word-of-mouth, and enrich living environments. 🤝 Building Bridges: Virtual social events and resident-led committees are perfect to cultivate a sense of belonging. Whether it's a rooftop BBQ, a book club, or a community garden project, fostering opportunities for interaction enriches the multifamily experience. 📱 Embracing Technology: Property management platforms and social media groups provide avenues for communication, event coordination, and sharing resources, facilitating connections among residents. 🌳 Creating Shared Spaces: Thoughtfully designed communal spaces, such as lounges, co-working areas, and outdoor gathering spots, serve as hubs for social interaction. 🔊 Listening and Responding: Effective community engagement is a two-way street. Property managers must actively listen to residents' feedback, concerns, and suggestions, and respond with transparency and empathy. By involving residents in decision-making processes, trust and satisfaction are nurtured. Let's prioritize community building in multifamily housing, creating spaces where residents thrive.

🌟 Reflecting on Collaboration in Social Housing 🌟 🌧️ 🌪️ Back from a windswept holiday (picture - the calm before the storm) and I've been reflecting on the session think together had at the Social Housing Roundtable before my break.

Start small, use your local & resident data, and always aim to build relationships. It’s not always easy but worth it!   📢 Interested in embedding collaboration into your strategy?

🤝 Strengthening Our Communities Through Community-Building Programs 🤝 At the heart of multifamily investment is not just property, but the people who call these spaces home. Implementing robust community-building programs is essential for creating vibrant, thriving environments that foster connections and enhance resident satisfaction. 🌟 Key Value-Add Strategies for Community-Building: 1. Organized Resident Events: Hosting regular events, such as potlucks, game nights, or fitness classes, helps cultivate relationships among residents. These gatherings create a sense of belonging and strengthen community ties. 2. Collaborative Spaces: Designing communal areas such as gardens, lounges, and co-working spaces encourages residents to interact and collaborate. These areas become focal points for social engagement and creativity. 3. Wellness Programs: Implementing wellness initiatives, such as yoga classes, mental health workshops, and nutrition seminars, shows our commitment to residents’ holistic well-being and creates an inclusive community atmosphere. 4. Community Service Projects: Organizing volunteer opportunities and community service activities not only enhances community spirit but also connects residents with local organizations and causes that matter to them. 5. Feedback Mechanisms: Providing platforms for residents to voice their suggestions and concerns fosters open communication. This engagement allows us to adapt programs based on their preferences and needs, further enhancing the sense of community. By investing in community-building programs, we create environments where residents feel valued, connected, and at home. Let’s continue to prioritize these initiatives, fostering vibrant communities that enrich lives and encourage long-lasting relationships! #ValueAddStrategies #CommunityBuilding #MultifamilyInvestment #ResidentEngagement #PropertyManagement #WellnessPrograms #CommunityService

John Burns Research and Consulting recently outlined 'Smart Strategies for Community Development' — and we couldn't agree more. ➡️ Building a stronger sense of community is now a larger driver of land-planning decisions. According to JBRC, "Outdoor connectivity boomed during the pandemic. Now, builders and developers are encouraging residents not just to get outdoors but to get outdoors together." Our OnPlace communities place specific emphasis on the importance of the great outdoors. How it affects our physical, mental, and even spiritual health. Bonus points if we are able to connect our residents so they can experience these benefits together. Other outdoor gathering spaces mentioned by JBRC include communal gardens, safe routed for walking and biking to nearby schools or ships, and the return of TND or, front-porch living. All of which, we love! ➡️ Creative amenities create lifestyle that draws people to master-planned communities. What drives your buyers to purchase a home in your community? According to the JRBC Top 50 MPCs data, the top factors that contribute to higher home sales are lifestyle, high-quality amenities, and events. It's important to understand who your buyer is when planning your community amenities. What does your customer value? How do they want to spend their time with loved ones and neighbors? OnPlace can assist in guiding community and amenity visioning with the end use in mind. Great insight, John Burns Research and Consulting. 📷 Pictured: Places we love.

Engaging and retaining residents can be tough, and with with increasing competition for attention it's only getting tougher. Swipe for three tips for elevating your resident engagement strategies ➡️ 1. Create Community Before Move-In Day Encourage interaction between prospects and current residents early to lay the groundwork for a connected, positive experience. 2. Focus on Belonging Unsure about which amenities to upgrade? Take cues from what residents are talking about! Factoring in their opinions fosters a sense of ownership in the community. 3. Offer Amenities That Matter Offer amenities, services, or programs that genuinely improve residents' lives. When residents see value, they invest more in the community, enhancing retention and attracting new renters. By engaging early, fostering belonging, and providing value, you can build a community that residents love and new renters want to join. #multifamily #proptech #propertymanagement #residentexperience

🏡 Investing in Affordable Housing for a Better Community 🌱 In the realm of affordable housing and environmental wellness, fostering meaningful relationships and open communication is key.

We aim to bridge gaps between tenants, landlords, homeowners, and organizations, fostering a community where communication flows freely. Our goal is to empower tenants with the knowledge to consider ownership or investment opportunities, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility within our communities. I'm proud to work alongside Caleb Sherrill, whose genuine connections with our tenants exemplify our commitment to community-building.
