How to Plan a Residents’ Event That Shines

The Heartbeat of Community
Science says it: group events release oxytocin, bonding us closer. Shared effort or laughter boosts endorphins, lifting spirits. In 2025, with isolation still a ghost, these moments are lifelines—turning houses into a home.
Real Neighbors, Real Magic
Last year, a friend’s street did a pet parade—Mr. Whiskers in a cape stole the show, and now everyone knows each other’s dogs by name. Another time, a planting day led to a weekly “weed and chat” crew. These events don’t just happen—they grow roots. What’s your block’s next story?
