Moving to One 51 Place Apartment Homes can be an exciting time in your life – but the thought of leaving your current home and all the friends that you made while there can understandably cause some anxiety. Many adults find that making new friends isn’t as easy as it once was. For one, as an adult, you don’t have built-in friends with common interests like you do when you join a sports team or club as a kid. And, you likely have more responsibilities on your plate, leaving you with less time to socialize than ever before.

Thankfully, all hope is not lost for making new friends as an adult. If you have recently moved to One 51 Place, or if you are in the midst of planning an upcoming move, here are some ways to establish connections and make new friends once you arrive:

• Join a meetup group – There’s a meetup group out there for just about anyone. All you have to do is go to www.meetup.com, pick a group that seems to jive with your interests and get ready to meet some like-minded people!
• Reach out to your neighbors – What better friends to make than those who live right next door? One 51 Place has a number of community spaces and amenities where you can get to know your neighbors.  
• Get out of your apartment – You can’t make new friends if you never leave your apartment. If all else fails, get yourself out and about. You never know who you might run into!

There are plenty of opportunities to make new friends after moving to One 51 Place – you just need to put yourself out there.
