Curb appeal has a way of attracting real organic attention, so it makes sense that it’s such an important part of your community. Your curb appeal can be described as how your community is viewed from the outside, and an attractive curb appeal is one that will turn heads and garner interest in the lifestyle you provide. As people are driving by, they’re likely to notice a community that stands out in a positive way, and this notice can quickly turn to real interest. 

 

During the winter months, things just aren’t as “pretty” as they may be in the spring, summer, or fall. You don’t have the changing leaves, you don’t have the blooming flowers, and you don’t have the lush shades of green, but what you do have is a lot of grey. While a fresh snowfall is beautiful, it only lasts so long before becoming grey sludge, and this can be quite the challenge when trying to keep your community beautiful from the outside. Additionally, it’s also darker in the winter, so those driving by may not be able to see your community as well as they would during the other months of the year. 

 

One great idea for upping your curb appeal during the winter is keeping things bright, and incorporating light into all aspects of your community. Lights on your sign, lights lining the sidewalks, and lights on the buildings themselves can allow your residences to be seen without much effort from all around outside. Lighting can also make your current residents happy by making them feel safer and more secure, so there is a double benefit! 

 

Another idea is to plan winter friendly greenery to offset the duller colors ever present during the winter months. Holly bushes, small evergreen trees, and other cold-weather foliage plants can create a beautiful and alive atmosphere even when the temperature begins to drop. 

 

Your curb appeal doesn’t have to take a season off simply because Mother Nature may refuse to cooperate, and there are things you can do to beautify your community even during the coldest months of the year.
