Community starts with knowing who lives next door
You don't need a committee, a constitution, or monthly meetings. Just neighbours who want to communicate better. OpenCourtyard makes it simple to connect, coordinate, and build real community.
The reality of living near strangers
Strangers in the Same Building
You share walls, hallways, maybe a garden. But you don't know each other's names.
No One to Report Things To
Broken light in the hallway? Leak in the roof? Who do you even tell?
Scattered Communications
Building WhatsApp, estate Facebook group, door-to-door notes. Nothing connects.
Parcel Problems
Deliveries left outside, packages stolen, no way to coordinate with neighbours.
Issues With No Recourse
Noisy neighbours, parking disputes, but no structure to address them fairly.
Want to Organize, Don't Know How
You'd form an RA but have no idea where to start. It feels overwhelming.
It doesn't have to be this way. Imagine actually knowing your neighbours.
Tools for building real community
Report Building Issues
Log problems even without a committee. Broken things get tracked, progress gets visible, nothing disappears into a group chat.
Community Forum
Finally, a place to discuss building stuff that isn't a chaotic WhatsApp group. Topics stay organised. History stays searchable.
Put Names to Doors
Know who lives where. Privacy controls let everyone share what they're comfortable with. Build real connections.
Direct Messages
Message the person in flat 4 without exchanging phone numbers. Keep personal details personal.
Quick Polls
"Should we chip in for a communal BBQ?" Get everyone's input without knocking on doors.
Shared Resources
Local tradespeople, bin collection schedules, building info. Useful stuff everyone can access.
Community without the complexity
No Committee Required
You don't need to elect officers or write a constitution. Just start talking to your neighbours.
Start With Two People
One neighbour signs up, invites another. That's enough to begin. Community grows from there.
Grow At Your Own Pace
Start with a directory. Add forums when you're ready. No pressure, no mandatory features.
Works for Any Building
Flats, converted houses, estates, new builds. If you have neighbours, it works.
Start with what you need. Most buildings begin with just a directory and a forum. Add more features as your community grows. There's no wrong way to use OpenCourtyard.
