Tips to Meeting Your new Neighbors

One of the most exhilarating aspects of moving into a new home is the ability to create a fresh start and embrace new experiences. Enjoy the tranquility of a planned community and relish in the opportunity to know new neighbors. In this day and age, what is the best way to branch out to meet everyone in the neighborhood? Don’t forget, we also need to take into consideration the current pandemic.

Here are some of our best ideas:

• Open House

Knowing that you live in a Trusst home means there will be no qualms about an open house. Trusst takes great pride in being the unparalleled home builders in New Hanover County. Having built more than 3,000 homes in the Cape Fear region since 1992, rest assured that your home is perfect for entertaining. Don’t even worry about fully unpacking– there’s always the backyard! Outside events are currently preferred by many so it’s easy to socially distance and the use of masks is no longer required.

• Come Bearing Beverages

Consider buying a few bottles of wine to present to your next door neighbors and the family across the street. Vino always makes an impression. Even better, if everyone is comfortable, if you can arrange to open a bottle with your new neighbors and get to know each other better over a bottle of Merlot.

• Coffee with Cream

Everyone loves the universal pick me up, so capitalize on the java quotient and make coffee baskets. Whether you create your own labels or attach a handwritten note to a premixed blend, neighbors will really perk up at your thoughtful gift. These can be left at the front door with your note.

• Fabulous Food

Back in the day, a casserole or pie was the greeting of choice. While edible items are always a plus, don’t feel limited. Be it baked goods, hors d’oeuvres, or a full-blown meal, get creative with your culinary skills. If you cook, they will come!

• Creative Cards

Create your own– or order pre-made– some cute cards to introduce yourself to the neighbors. Attach them to a gift or present them independently. Make sure to leave your contact information so they know exactly who to greet. This is a great way to say help and introduce yourself, without any physical contact.
