Which amenities do your communities
enjoy the most and what new
amenity do they ask for?
“Which amenities do our communi-
ties enjoy most: Properly heated and
cooled gyms with working equipment
including televisions!
What new amenity do they ask for:
New dumpsters with lids that actually
work!”
— Gus Meitzner, CMCA, AMS,
Surfside Property Management
“Members of the Canal Walk com-
munity enjoy our swimming pools the
most. We can finally relax and swim
in the sun; see friends who we may
not have seen after being away for
the winter or cooped up inside due to
cold weather; and have an opportu-
nity to enjoy swimming with grandchil-
dren. The one amenity which some
in our community might like having
is Pickleball, the latest craze in adult
communities.”
— Deana Luchs, Canal Walk HOA
“In answer to the question, the
biggest amenity of course is a fitness
center. We just divided up our
bocce courts and added a putting
green and mini golf which has been
received with great reviews.”
— Denise Schisano,
Property Manager,
Greenbriar II Homeowner’s
Association
“In our 500+ unit properties club-
house with a gym, game rooms, an
open concept great room in the club-
house pool, tennis, bocci, and a par
3 putting green, all are looking for
social activities and love the freedom
of not needing to do maintenance.
Sites with 499-100 units want the
same things too — all our commu-
nities to have a grand appearance
throughout the community. Many of
our clients purchase concierge ser-
vices from offerings we have created.”
— Karen Meehan,
A R Midstate Management LLC
“The community most enjoys the
pool and gym. They ask for basketball
courts.”
— Terry Viggiano, CMCA,
AMS, PCAM,
Community Manager,
Whispering Woods
