Getting to Know Your Community...
When was the last time you moved? What was it like moving into a new community, did you feel welcome? Have you ever moved into a newly built community that was once undeveloped land? Well recently my oldest daughter bought a brand new townhome in a newly built community that was once undeveloped land.
This community is now about two years old and they are still building the last phase of townhomes. They pay Home Owner Association (HOA) fees but have no interaction with the HOA. Just moving in four months ago we haven't met but two families in a development of approximately 40 homes. As it's warmed up we've seen more and more foot traffic from people who don't live in this community.
It is very important to know your community and what goes on in it! Since we didn't really know anyone in our community, my daughter gave a meet and greet to get to know everyone. Out of about 40 families only 14 families attended. We learned that in the two years that this new development has existed there has been ((3)) break-ins!!! Of course that went to the top of the list of concerns by those of us that were unaware of that. So get to know your community and find out how you can make it better!!!
