New Apartment, New Friends! How to Meet People in a New Apartment Community
When you move into a new place, there are lots of things to check off the to-do list. Unpacking, decorating, organizing, picking up anything you still need—the list goes on and on. But there's another thing you have to do when you settle in: meet your neighbors! Here are some times for connecting with people in a new apartment community.
- Keep it simple: say "hello." Never underestimate the power of a grin and a warm greeting. You won't meet anyone if you only offer a curt nod or a faint smile when you encounter new neighbors in the hall. Offer your hand, introduce yourself, and let them know you're new to the building.
- "Meetup" with neighbors. If you're having a hard time connecting with people who share your interests in the building, check out meetup.com. This website is a hub for social groups that are divided by area and interest, from yoga to craft beer.
- Take advantage of common space amenities. Does your new apartment have a gym? Start a new fitness routine—sans the conversation-buffering earbuds. Is there a common rooftop deck? Check it out with a friend, maybe with some snacks or drinks to share.
