Moving can be an incredible adventure, giving your family the chance to explore a different city, understand other cultures, and create lasting friendships. However, it isn’t always easy to meet new people, especially if you are unfamiliar with the area. Below are some ways to get to know your neighbors after moving. 

How to Meet Your Neighbors

1. Host an Open House

To get to know other people in the area, host an open house. Whether you want to have neighbors over for a few appetizers or some drinks in the backyard, hosting an open house is a fast, easy way to meet people. Remember to social distance to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and wear masks around neighbors.

2. Take Outdoor Walks

Neighborhood walks are a great way to get fresh air, exercise, and meet neighbors. Try taking walks during different times of the day to meet different people who might be out and about.

Mention that you are new in the neighborhood, and ask what restaurants, parks, or playgrounds are nearby. Neighbors might have great information about local schools and community events as well.

3. Volunteer

Create positive change in your area while also making friends by volunteering. Get involved with positive, impactful projects in the area, such as fixing up local parks, joining the PTA, and going to HOA meetings. The more you talk with other people, the higher the chance is of finding a new friend.
