Encouraging social interaction among residents can help your community thrive. Even though residents have their own busy lives, engaging with their fellow residents fosters a welcoming culture for your community. One of the best ways to promote interaction is to have sufficient common areas where residents can hang out. Common areas in multifamily housing communities are meant to be functional. And if your property doesn't have this functionality, then you could be missing an opportunity for creating an exciting place to live.
Of the many challenges for property managers in the multifamily space, resident engagement remains a top priority. That's because engagement is important to both retaining and attracting new residents. With summer almost here and the weather warming up, residents will be looking for things to do outside. That means it's time to get your community's summer events calendar planned out to keep residents engaged with each other and the community. But we know how busy property managers can be, making it difficult to find the time to brainstorm ideas. Here are eight activities that will keep residents engaged and help attract new tenants.
Being a property manager can be very demanding. Whether it's a tenant, maintenance issues, or an owner, there's always someone or something that unexpectedly needs your attention. Vending machines are no different. And, if you're like most people, you've never given much thought to them (unless one stole your money).
Summer is officially here. As a property manager for an apartment complex, you know what that means. Residents will be gathering at the community pool to take advantage of the warmer weather and longer days. Or, will they?
Contemplating the idea of vending machines at your apartment building but worrying about their effectiveness? Managed vending machine service can come in handy in many residential places, allowing you residents and staff to snack on tasty treats, sip on some drinks, or even do laundry.
