June Resident Event Ideas
Do you hear that? That’s summer and she’s ready to PARTY! We’re sharing our June 2023 resident event ideas that your residents will not want to miss.
When a resident signs a lease, it’s not like we are done selling. If anything it’s just the beginning because we need to continually remind them why they chose you and why your community brings them a lot of value. Summer gives you the perfect opportunity to hit on those outdoor, communal amenities that renters are after by hosting resident events in those areas.
According to the 2022 NMHC/Grace Hill Renter Preferences Survey, amenities that ranked high outside of the typical washer/dryer or air conditioning, were outdoor features like roof-top patios, parks, playgrounds, and more. People want a variety of spaces outdoors to enjoy, and hosting your events there only reminds them that those places are waiting for them. So let’s get to those ideas, shall we?
