How to Make the Most of Your Neighborhood as a Renter

At SimplyHome, we know that home is more than just where you live — it’s how you live. And one of the best parts about living in a SimplyHome community is having the opportunity to connect, explore, and build lasting memories right in your neighborhood.

Whether you’re new to the area or have been here a while, here are a few ways to make the most of your community as a SimplyHome resident.

1. Get to Know Your Neighbors

Making connections is the first step to feeling at home. A quick “hello” while walking your dog or attending a neighborhood event can turn into a lasting friendship. Plus, having familiar faces nearby helps build a supportive, welcoming environment for everyone.

SimplyHome Tip: Start small! Say hi when picking up your mail or watering your plants — you never know who you’ll meet.

2. Join a Resident Social Club

Did you know that several SimplyHome communities have their own social clubs? From the Theater Club for movie lovers to the Walking Club for outdoor enthusiasts and the Craftsman Club for DIY creators, there’s something for everyone.

These clubs are a great way to meet like-minded neighbors, share hobbies, and feel connected beyond your front door.

3. Attend Community Events

Throughout the year, SimplyHome Resident Ambassadors host exciting neighborhood events — from casual socials to seasonal celebrations. These gatherings are designed to bring residents together, create memories, and build a sense of belonging.

Be sure to check your resident emails and Resident Portal regularly for event updates in your neighborhood and follow us on social media to stay in the know about what’s coming next!

4. Become a Resident Ambassador

If you love connecting with others and want to make your community even better, consider becoming a Resident Ambassador! Ambassadors help host events, welcome new neighbors, and strengthen the sense of community within their neighborhood.

As a bonus, Ambassadors enjoy exclusive perks and recognition — all while making a positive impact where they live.

5. Explore What’s Around You

Your SimplyHome neighborhood is thoughtfully located near parks, trails, and local favorites — perfect for relaxing weekends or exploring new spots. Visit local coffee shops, farmers markets, or restaurants to support nearby businesses and make your neighborhood feel even more like home.

Your Community, Your Home

Making the most of your neighborhood is all about connection — with your neighbors, your surroundings, and your SimplyHome community.

Keep an eye on your Resident Portal, email inbox, and SimplyHome social channels for upcoming events, club sign-ups, and ambassador opportunities. Together, we’re creating more than just neighborhoods — we’re building communities that feel like home.
