This past weekend, MetroPlaces’ Waterleaf residents were able to enjoy their favorite annual Halloween event!
With two costume contests (for both children of all ages and for adults), music, drinks and delicious food, there were plenty of fun activities prepared.
The Halloween extravaganza took place alongside the community pool which allowed our time-crunched residents to join in the fun and relax while enjoying family time.
MetroPlaces hosted this event as a way of thanking the wonderful Waterleaf residents who make our community one of the best places to live in!
Union Park is filled with fun events around the calendar! Check out some of our fall season favorites below.
Battle of The Blocks
The “Battle of the Blocks” event is a yearly favorite, bringing all families in each block together to compete for a winning title. Neighborhood blocks go head-to-head in a series of family-friendly games, races and fun.
Residents are not playing around! They get themselves prepared for this event with matching shirts for their block and all!
Oktoberfest
A tradition that started in the 1800’s in Munich Germany has helped form Union Park’s community event culture for three years in a row. Oktoberfest brings hot air balloon rides, ice cream trucks, delicious foods and plenty of good beer.
Even our youngest residents can enjoy the fun––inflatable slides, bounce houses, face painting and splash pad fun are all abundant. This community favorite truly brings the spirit of the fall season to Union Park.
Halloween Block Party
The Union Park Halloween Block Party is another favorite for our little ones. Trick-or-treating, costume contests and candy galore are amongst the many activities.
The Halloween extravaganza takes place alongside the community pool which allows our residents to join in the fun and relax while enjoying family time. The buffet of ghostly foods and bloody drinks as well as homemade goods is always a hit! We love seeing our residents taking a day off from cooking to enjoy quality time with loved ones.

Moving can be hectic and stressful, especially if you’re relocating to an unfamiliar place.
Moving into a new home with as much ease and as little tension as possible is certainly the goal, but it takes planning and organization to get there.
With these five simple moving tips, you’ll be on your way to a new home in no time!
Label, Label, Label!
Knowing (and marking) which items are in which box will help you stay organized during your move. From Kitchen and Living Room to Master Bedroom and Bath, labeling your boxes will help movers put things in the right room and save you time. When you arrive at your new place, you won’t want to drag your living room boxes across the house to your bedroom!
Cleaning
Cleaning up the house before unpacking is a must! Even if you’re moving into a brand new home, it helps to unpack in a clean, dust-free home – it just makes the unpacking process more enjoyable!
Kitchen First
Unpack your kitchen first. In most homes the kitchen serves as the heart of the home and the center gathering place for family members. Unpack your glasses, plates, utensils and cookware before you begin the rest of the house. This will help you have a place to relax with a snack or glass of water when you need to refuel during the moving process.
Turn up the Tunes
Choose some upbeat music that puts you in a happy mood and get to work! Music has been proven to influence our mood and outlook on work, so play something that uplifts your spirit and gets you in the mood get stuff done.
Smell Good, Feel Good
Light your favorite candle or incense to get your new house smelling like home. Burn a familiar scent to give you the warm, homey feeling – make the new place feel like your place.
Enjoy all the wonderful amenities that our new communities have to offer at MetroPlaces’ homes.
