Resident Appreciation Week E-book: 18 Appreciation Event Ideas
Resident Appreciation Week is a designated week—often celebrated annually by apartment communities in November—focused on recognizing and celebrating the people who live in your community. The goal is to show residents that they are valued, strengthen relationships, and foster a sense of community.
During this week, communities often host themed events, small giveaways, or special gestures like thank-you notes, treats, or social media shout-outs. It’s a chance to make residents feel seen and appreciated, encourage loyalty, and even generate positive word-of-mouth to attract new residents.
It’s also an opportunity for the on-site team to rally around a single theme—resident appreciation—making it easier to execute meaningful activities that have a big impact.
We've themed out each day to make planning your resident appreciation week much easier. Plus, we are providing you with a variety of different options each day that you can mix and match to make your own. Download here or view below.
