Client’s properties: it’s a tie between a community with twin side-by-side indoor water resistance swimming pools Florida), and a one with a glass enclosed two-story indoor rock climbing wall (Ohio - www.livepreferred.com/taylor-house/ )
Although the clients with lazy rivers and rooftop jumbotrons are pretty cool too!

I do t actually have it yet but seen it at a park and I’m trying to get it on some properties. The videos that come up are always cycling so there’s constant new work out material

We have a community garden- even the residents who don’t use it think it’s pretty cool

Nicki Bolton Romeo it used to be a volleyball court, but nobody was really playing volleyball. It’s 32 4‘ x 4‘ plots, resident sign up for it in the office, there’s no additional charge . And I say they can grow anything that is legal in the state of North Carolina ????a pleasant side effect is that we get a lot of tomatoes and zucchini in the office LOL

I love the idea of “services”! I think that’s where the future is headed ???? Like on-site dog walkers, yoga classes, grocery deliveries, house keepers, etc. I could go on and on!

My old property/sister property I worked at had a movie wall. We updated it every month with new releases and the residents loved it! Also, we had a popcorn machine next to it ready with fresh popcorn every day.
I’m sure others might have the same but I always loved that!

It really depends on the market/clientele you're wanting to market to. Pets, smart technology, fitness classes and 'services' such as Payton mentioned are just some of what people love. If you're i to fitness a rock wall would totally be ideal however if you're retired maybe a little putting green on the rooftop is more ideal.

Amenities are shrinking. Way more rapidly with covid. I recommend a service or interior feature vers something no one feels comfortable using.

My community has a car wash with a dog wash station located inside. It's been very popular. I think it would be cool to have a splash pad though.
