Here are some times for connecting with people in a new apartment community.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Keep it simple: say &quot;hello.&quot; <\/strong> Never underestimate the power of a grin and a warm greeting. You won&#39;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&#39;re new to the building.<\/li>\n<li><strong>&quot;Meetup&quot; with neighbors. <\/strong>If you&#39;re having a hard time connecting with people who share your interests in the building, check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.meetup.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">meetup.com<\/a>. This website is a hub for social groups that are divided by area and interest, from yoga to craft beer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Take advantage of common space amenities. <\/strong> Does your new apartment have a gym? Start a new fitness routine&mdash;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.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.apartmentguide.com\/blog\/ways-to-meet-new-people\/\" target=\"_blank\">9 Ways to Meet People in Your Neighborhood<\/a> [Apartment Guide]<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.apartments.com\/blog\/tips-for-meeting-new-people-in-your-apartment-community\" target=\"_blank\">Tips for Meeting New People in Your Apartment Community<\/a> [Apartments.com]<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.apartmenttherapy.com\/5-great-ways-to-meet-your-neighbors-193984\" target=\"_blank\">Building Community: 5 Great Ways to Meet Your Neighbors<\/a> [Apartment Therapy]<\/p>\n<div class=\"pophld\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/apartments.naproperties.com\/nap-cincinnatiwp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/girls_1209321_640_640.jpg\" style=\"margin:0;padding:0;\" title=\"Pixabay\/Unsplash\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin:0;padding:0;clear:both;\"><em>Public Domain\/<a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/en\/girls-lying-classic-car-young-1209321\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pixabay\/Unsplash<\/a><\/em><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you move into a new place, there are lots of things to check off the to-do list.
