Show Summary

In the first installment of our Q&A series, ‘Creating Community’, hosts Monaca and Callie tackle pressing questions from their LinkedIn network. Callie leads the conversation, prompting Monaca to share insights on the evolving real estate development and lifestyle landscapes.


Monaca discusses the potential impact of the National Association of Realtors settlement on the role of realtors and whether developers are rethinking lifestyle in a cooling market. She explores the future of amenities in master-planned communities, the balance between infrastructure and emotional connection, and the importance of designing spaces that feel authentic rather than manufactured.


She also breaks down the placemaking process, emphasizing the need to understand what a community truly wants and build around that vision. Challenging the notion that an HOA defines a neighborhood, she highlights the role of residents in shaping a genuine sense of community.
