6 Ideas to Get To Know Your Neighbors at The Cliffs

Congratulations! Getting settled in your new home after closing is an exciting time. But, as with any new beginning, it can take some time to get used to the inevitable changes that you are experiencing.   

Whether it’s your first move, or you’ve moved before, we understand that it can be a challenge to find your place in a new community. To help you transition into your new home, we have compiled a list of six ways you can get to know your neighbors and start to enjoy the many social activities that make life in a private luxury community such an enriching experience for you and your family. Let’s take a look! 

1. Go Outside

While it might seem like a no-brainer, spending time outside can give you more opportunities to casually run into your neighbors and strike up a conversation. One great way to spend time outdoors and meet other people is to join a hiking group. With regular hikes and events, you will be able to easily make new friends and make the most of your proximity to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

If you have a pet, taking them for a walk around the block will make it even easier to start a conversation and introduce yourself and your furry friend to your neighbors. At The Cliffs, you’ll find private dog parks within the community that are great for socializing –– both for you and your pet!

2. Host a Housewarming Party 

Hosting a housewarming party is a wonderful opportunity to get to know your neighbors and learn about the community as well. To make hosting easier for you, we recommend having the food catered by the club so you can focus on the social aspects of the event without the stress. With hors d’oeuvres and refreshing cocktails, you can spend a lovely evening meeting other members of your community. 

3. Join a Club

Joining a club is a great way to meet members of your community who share the same interests and hobbies as you. This is an excellent way to establish a connection and allow you to speak freely, in a comfortable setting, about the things you know and love. Oftentimes, these groups have many members, which allows you to get to know a large number of people at one time. 

Here at The Cliffs, we have more than 300 private social clubs, each allows you to learn new things while getting to know your new community better. From wine and books to golf and cycling, there is a club for everyone here at The Cliffs. To learn more about the many club opportunities available to you as a member at The Cliffs, click here. 

4. Ask for Advice 

Another great way to start a conversation is by asking for advice. By simply reaching out, you can start to build a connection with your new neighbors. This can be as simple as asking about the best restaurants to visit nearby, or specific information about the community itself –– really anything that gets you talking! If you try what they suggested, be sure to follow up with them about your experience and continue to foster the relationship.

5. Become a Club Member

One of the easiest ways to get to know your neighbors is to join the community’s private club. By becoming a member and taking part in the activities you enjoy, you will naturally meet new people who share your same interests. Once you begin to meet other members, you can start to plan activities together, such as a friendly round of golf, or even a mountain hike.

6. Attend Community Events

Often, community events are entertaining ways to meet many other members of your community at once. These social events often range from group dinners at the community clubhouse to day trips to other towns in the area. The more of these events you participate in, the more likely you are to find a group that shares your same interests. If you have children, include them in kid’s programs and events. This way, they too can begin to make new friends and create endless memories that will last a lifetime.  

As with any friendship, it takes time to develop a trusting bond. So be patient –– over time, you will start to gain more confidence with one another, and end up spending more time together as friends. Ultimately it is this time spent sharing experiences and creating memories that make living in a private luxury community more enjoyable for you and your family.
