From a hello to a first plan
One person can
get it started.
Find an existing group first. If there isn’t one for your place, give your people a clear reason to join.
Look for your community →Introduce your place.
Choose a name, broad location, and who belongs. Decide whether to have a public introduction or a fully private group.
Complete review and setup.
Nayborlee reviews new groups before they open. After approval, follow your account’s setup steps, including Organizer coverage if your group is fully private.
Invite your first people.
Use the joining option your group has chosen. Post a welcome and one easy plan, then invite others to help shape what comes next.
Make it local
Give a growing neighborhood clear boundaries.
Use the subdivision name and broad area. Explain which streets or phases the group covers without publishing residents’ addresses.
- Subdivision name, city, ZIP, and included phases
- Who belongs and whether the group is resident-led
- Official builder, service, and HOA links
- One easy welcome activity for new arrivals

Before the first hello
Questions before you get started.
Practical answers for the people who live here and the people helping them connect.
See current pricing →Do we have to wait for the HOA to take over?
No. A resident can propose a group while the neighborhood is still growing. Explain that it is resident-led and keep official builder or HOA processes in their proper channels.
How should we handle different construction phases?
Describe the streets or phases your group covers and update the introduction as the community changes. Look for an existing group before starting another for the same place.
Can a builder or real estate agent propose a group?
Anyone can propose a group for review. Be transparent about your role and give residents room to shape their own conversation. Do not imply official representation without authorization.
Can we compare move-in and home information?
Share practical experiences and official links, and distinguish a personal tip from an official instruction. Use the builder’s or provider’s own process for warranty and service requests.
What is public, and what stays inside the group?
A free group has a public introduction with its name, purpose, and broad location. Member conversations and member lists stay inside the group. A fully private group has no public introduction or search listing and uses the Organizer plan. Keep private addresses and access details out of the public introduction.
What does it cost?
Neighbors participate free. Starting a group with a public introduction is free. Fully private groups use one Organizer plan per community; see Pricing for current rates, trial eligibility, and renewal terms. View pricing and trial terms.
Can we choose how people join?
Yes. A group with a public introduction can use invitations, reviewed requests, or direct joining. Fully private groups are invitation-only. Explain who the group is for in its introduction so people can choose the right place.
What happens after I propose a group?
Nayborlee reviews new groups before they open. After approval, complete the setup shown in your account, choose any required Organizer coverage for a fully private group, and then welcome your first members.
Can more than one person help organize?
Yes. More than one person can help organize a community. Start with a small team and agree who welcomes people, helps with joining requests, and keeps the first few plans moving.
Where can we find things to do nearby?
Browse Happenings for county activities and area guides, then share a relevant link with your group. Check the original organizer’s listing for the latest time, location, cost, and accessibility details before making a plan. Private group plans stay separate from public activity listings. Explore Happenings.
What is a good first gathering?
Try a short welcome walk or coffee at a suitable confirmed meeting place. Account for unfinished roads, ongoing construction, and accessibility when choosing the route or space.
How do we welcome people who move in later?
Keep a short welcome post and a few checked official links handy. Invite new arrivals into existing conversations and repeat simple gatherings so they can join naturally.
