According to the Foundation for Community Association, there are 365,000 communities in the US with a population of 75.5 million residents. The high residency is due to benefits such as access to shared amenities and a well-groomed neighborhood.
However, despite these benefits, the community must foster a sense of belonging to enhance residents' satisfaction. A vibrant and connected community contributes to happiness and a high quality of life. It also fosters a spirit of togetherness with an opportunity to create everlasting memories.
A seasonal HOA idea is a great way to enrich a community's camaraderie spirit. Seasonal events create an opportunity for a community to come together, interact, and build bonds.
