For Canada’s millennials, the job market is the strongest it has been in recent history which is motivating more young people to settle down in the city. But with the sudden increase in the search to find affordable rent, this upbeat generation is looking for more than just a place to live. At an age where factors like participating in social events and leisure activities is important to the status quo, millennials are looking for a community-based living experience where they can thrive.
Today, in a world where social media and digital networking have dramatically altered the way people interact, young professionals are used to communicating through their smartphones.
The result of this technology-driven way of life is the absence of communities where residents interact with their neighbours beyond a subtle nod or a polite wave. For this reason, property management companies like CLV Group are focusing their efforts on creating communities designed to foster social interactions amongst residents.
CLV Group is offering mixed-use buildings that combine residential and entertainment spaces. By providing these amenities just steps away, they’re finding unique ways to bring residents together.
Case in point: CLV Group’s Stoney Creek Towers in Hamilton features an attractive gathering area including two outdoor pools for residents to relax, enjoy the outdoors and interact with each other. The company is taking other measures to foster a sense of community among residents, including offering green spaces, fitness and business amenities as well as other resident events, such as breakfast gatherings, barbecues, and contests.
Encouraging social interaction reinforces a sense a community by allowing residents to start seeing familiar faces in their neighbourhoods and buildings. It can create friendships amongst neighbours and improve overall mental health and well-being.
Today, as people’s social needs are changing, property managers are doing what needs to be done to give residents an affordable community in which to live and feel a part of.
