When a community is safe, parents are free to raise their children without having to worry about crime, and neighbors feel comfortable to socialize, which is extremely important to building a strong sense of community. Homebuyers prioritize safety, among other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parcelpending.com\/en-ca\/blog\/new-home-features-homebuilders-should-be-aware-of\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new home features<\/a>, when evaluating between homes, making it even more lucrative for homebuilders to invest in. Below we will discuss different ways home builders can contribute to increased home and neighborhood safety through both single home improvements and community enhancements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Make It Bright!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the hallmarks of a safe neighborhood is adequate lighting. Criminals like to operate in the dark and are often deterred when they encounter well-lit homes. The chances that they get caught is vastly increased by good lighting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several ways you can improve the lighting conditions of a home that you\u2019re building, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Strategically Place Light Fixtures<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Carefully placed lighting can make a real difference when it comes to preventing crime in your neighborhood as well as a better community experience. The higher up you place a light fixture, the more it will simulate natural light and the larger the surface area the light will cover. If your goal is to illuminate the outside of your home, opt for high-hanging lights instead of lights that are built near the ground. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Use Bright Paint<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: A darkly painted home is eye candy for a would-be thief. If you opt instead for bright coats of paint, not only will criminals be deterred, but the light from your fixtures will carry farther and illuminate the home in an even greater way.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Opt for Brighter Bulbs: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While yellow lights might be appealing to some, it\u2019s not the best choice if security is your priority. Large LED bulbs produce light that carries much farther and makes it easier to identify people and objects in a given setting. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because these strategies are a great way to improve the lighting conditions of an individual home, homebuilders should encourage others in the neighborhood to adopt these practices as well for a safer overall community.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Create Opportunities for Community Interaction<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the hallmarks of a safe neighborhood is community interaction. If residents know each other and are comfortable with one another, they will feel inclined to warn each other of possible suspicious activity and will feel comfortable reaching out if they feel threatened in any way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it may seem like large-scale public works projects like parks and schools are the best way to create a positive community atmosphere, it\u2019s possible to cultivate this quality experience on a smaller scale, starting with small additions to your home. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider some simple options: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Leave Room for a Lawn: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have the space for it, building a lawn is a great way to make your home feel more inviting to the rest of the neighborhood. Keeping it clean and well-tended is a good sign to potential criminals that the homeowners are vigilant. Hanging out on the lawn also gives you the opportunity to meet the people in your neighborhood.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Fun Additions: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In every neighborhood, there is a house or two that stands out because it offers something engaging for the community. For example, if your building on a property that is surrounded by trees, consider adding a tire swing. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Build Secure Homes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When individual homes are built with security in mind, the neighborhood at large benefits. It develops a crime-resistant reputation, and wrongdoers are encouraged to operate in other areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Building a secure home is a multi-step process. There are many different ways to approach building security into a property, and the best homes will incorporate several different strategies. It\u2019s also wise to encourage your neighbors to also adopt some of the easier security improvements. Each one will make the neighborhood a safer place and will attract more good neighbors.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Gates and Fences: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While including gates and fences in your home design might not be the best way to make your home community-friendly, it\u2019s a practical and surefire way to deter criminals. Homes that are easy to access are often the first targeted by thieves. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Prevent Package Theft:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> One of the most common and easiest urban crimes to commit is parcel theft. Most people have either experienced it firsthand or know someone that has had a package stolen. It\u2019s easy for the criminal, and most homes don\u2019t have security cameras to catch them in the act. Companies like <\/span><a href=\"\/en-ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parcel Pending<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have helped to prevent package theft by creating parcel lockers to store all your incoming package deliveries. Additionally, these <\/span><a href=\"\/en-ca\/markets\/single-family-parcel-lockers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">single-family parcel lockers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> come with 24\/7 cloud-based video surveillance so you can document anyone who attempts a theft, making them that much easier for the police to track. Whether you\u2019re building a single-family home or a multi-family housing community, smart lockers are an ideal way to consolidate deliveries into a single protected location that is only accessible by people with authorized access. They are space-efficient, equipped with infrared scanners to detect packages, refrigerated so that perishables may be stored, and, most importantly, are completely secure. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Install a Security System: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This step is a no-brainer and homes that have already been built can install these systems retroactively. If anyone unwanted tries to enter the home, the security system will sound a loud alarm, startling the intruder and will typically alert local authorities that a home invasion is underway. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Install Security Cameras: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The mere sight of a security camera is often enough to deter suspicious characters. For that reason, it\u2019s best to place them in a conspicuous location instead of hiding them out of sight. If something were to happen, they can catch criminals in the act. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Secure Your Garage<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Recent crime trends suggest that garages are an increasingly popular entry point for home invaders. In many cases, this is because the garage is not properly secured, or large windows reveal items that may catch a criminal\u2019s eye. When building, try to eliminate easy entry points and be sure to lock up whenever you\u2019re not using it. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Remove Opportunity to Commit Crimes<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to keep criminals and suspicious characters out of your neighborhood, don\u2019t tempt them with easy opportunities to commit crimes. Contrary to popular belief, most criminals act rationally when committing crimes, and will go after targets that offer high rewards at the least possible risk. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several different ways that you can remove these temptations, and as a homebuilder, you\u2019re in the unique position to implement these strategies during the development phase:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Avoid Large, Street-Facing Windows: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Criminals are less likely to enter your home if the possible rewards are unknown. That\u2019s why homes with large windows are often targeted. Through the window, they might spot T.V.s, stereo systems, art, or any other valuable items that might tempt them. If you\u2019re set on installing large windows, consider placing them on the second floor. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Large Shrubs Make Great Hiding Spots: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think twice before including large shrubs or bushes outside your home. While they may add a nice aesthetic touch, they also offer criminals an ideal hiding spot. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Again, one of the ways you can entice suspicious characters to enter your neighborhood is by giving them easy opportunities to commit crimes. By making adjustments to your home, you\u2019re doing your entire neighborhood a favor. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Maintain Cleanliness<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean neighborhoods make a statement. They say to criminals that residents care about their homes and are generally active around their properties. If they enter a neighborhood where homes seem unmaintained, they figure that residents are either frequently away, or they don\u2019t care enough about their homes to invest in security measures. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping your property clean also has an effect on your neighbors. Nobody wants to own the unkempt property adjacent to the well-maintained property. Maintaining cleanliness can have a domino effect on the neighborhood, where the vigilance of one home encourages the vigilance of another. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To maintain cleanliness, make sure you: <\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Maintain Your Yard: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When someone looks at your home, your yard is the first thing that will catch their eye. Is your grass cut or overgrown? Is there trash or debris on the premises? Are your plants wilting or are they green and thriving? Regularly tending to your yard not only improves the visual quality of your home but also creates the opportunity to interact with neighbors who might be passing by.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Stay Tidy During Construction: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if you\u2019re only modifying part of a home or adding a small addition, it\u2019s important to make sure that the construction site is well-maintained. With so much going on, it\u2019s easy to fall into unorganized disarray, and while to some extent this sort of mess is inevitable, it should be cleaned at the end of every workday. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Consolidate Space: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Homes that are extravagantly built are often difficult to maintain. You shouldn\u2019t be stopped from building a home that best suits your taste, but you should be cognizant of the way the design of your home will directly impact your ability to keep it clean. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Meet the Neighbors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a homebuilder, you\u2019re going to be a focal point of the neighborhood. Using that attention to build relationships is a great way to bring the community together and introduce yourself to residents you might not otherwise come into contact with. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When a community is close-knit, residents are more likely to report suspicious activity around their neighbors\u2019 homes and are more comfortable discussing neighborhood issues with one another. If you\u2019re looking for ways to jump-start your neighborhood\u2019s sense of community, consider some of these strategies:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Neighborhood Watch Programs: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neighborhood Watch Programs serve several valuable functions. First and foremost, they exist for the purpose of increasing the safety of your neighborhood. Residents work together to identify suspicious activity and characters and then resolve the problem through a coordinated effort. They also offer an excuse to get together, socialize, and strengthen the social fabric of the community. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>House Warming Party: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once either the house or the renovations are complete, you should consider throwing a housewarming party. By turning your house into a venue where neighbors can meet one another, you will directly contribute to the increased safety of the community. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Organize a Block Party: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With approval from the city, you can shut down your block for an entire day and host a block party. There are few better ways to bring a neighborhood together. The party itself creates a memory that the community can hold on to, and it also allows other blocks and neighbors to get involved in the process of organizing and hosting the event. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Final Thoughts on Neighborhood Safety<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can probably tell, the number one way to improve the safety of your community is by strengthening the social ties between neighbors. However you decide to engage the community, remember that the more people involved the better the outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parcelpending.com\/en-ca\/blog\/community-safety-ideas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">community safety ideas<\/a> for more ways communities can implement to stay safe. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/goldbee.com\">Sources<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Community Safety Guide.
