How to Get Involved in Your New Community

By Mark Spain Real Estate

Moving into a new house can be a stressful experience. Whether you’re moving across the country or just a few neighborhoods over, starting over somewhere new can seem both exciting and daunting.

Below, we’ve compiled a few tips on how to get involved in your new community once you’re settled. 

How to Get Involved in Your New Community

Get to Know Your Neighbors

One of the easiest ways to explore your new community is to get to know your neighbors. Though this may take some time, getting comfortably acquainted with fellow neighborhood goers will strengthen your ties to your community — especially if you make friends! What may start as a friendly wave or brief chat by the mailbox could turn into valuable relationships that make you want to plant your roots. So, what are you waiting for? Once settled in, take the initiative and introduce yourself to those around you. You never know who you may meet!

Join Community Groups

Today’s neighborhoods typically have accompanying online communities for residents to engage with one another. Whether posing a question to the community, selling furniture, or organizing a social event, residents can use these platforms to get involved with their community and stay connected. Upon moving in, ask your neighbors about online community groups and other resources you can use to keep in the loop. 

Organize Social Gatherings

Once you’ve established rapport with your neighbors, you might consider having them over! After all, don’t you want to show off your new home? Whether it be an outdoor barbecue or sports watch party, organizing a fun social gathering is a great way to break the ice! You can post about your get-together via your abovementioned online community platform or go door to door and spread the word. Either way, any invitation will go a long way with your neighbors. 

Support Local Businesses 

Shopping locally is another excellent way to support your new community and get to know influential people in your area. One of the easiest ways to do this is to attend your local farmer’s market and check out different vendors. While shopping, not only will you be able to try out some niche, unique products, but you’ll also get to build your local network! It’s a win-win! 

Spend Time out of the House 

We understand that some of our above mentioned tips might be too much for a new resident. However, this next tip should be in everyone’s wheelhouse. Simply leaving your home in some capacity is a step toward getting comfortable in your new community. Perhaps you add a walk around the block to your daily routine. Or maybe you try a new coffee shop in your area each week. Finding reasons to leave your home and explore your community in even the smallest capacities will gradually make you feel more at home.
