How to Utilize Amenities for Your New Year’s Resolutions
Bring your New Year’s resolutions to life with Evolve amenities
2022 is here, and we at Evolve couldn’t be more ready for it! It’s been a wild couple of years, and it feels good to turn yet another page on a new chapter! A new year means dedicating time to bringing new energy and habits into your life! Some of the best things about apartment living are the amazing amenities right at your fingertips. With a new year in full force, we’re here to break down some of our favorite ways to utilize amenities so that you can bring your New Year’s resolutions to life!
Meditate in the yoga room
If you feel like you don’t have time to meditate, chances are you really need to meditate. It can seem daunting though, especially if you live with pets, your partner, or other family members. With lots of distractions around, it makes sitting down in silence even more challenging.
At Evolve, our communities offer a Yoga Room for you to practice, do Pilates, or sit in silence for meditation with no crazy distractions around you. Set a timer for just ten minutes and see what happens!
Sweat in the gym
If working out seems boring to you, Evolve’s state-of-the-art fitness centers are here to make things exciting. From treadmills and bikes to kettlebells and dumbbells, there’s something for everyone, no matter what you need. Getting physical should be fun! If you’ve set an intention for yourself to sweat more this year, you’re in the right place.
Spend more time outside
Getting more vitamin D and fresh air is likely on a lot of our resolution lists in 2022. If we’ve learned anything over these last two years, it’s the importance of getting outdoors—particularly when it seems like you’ve been couped up for far too long!
Evolve communities are awesome about diversifying what’s available outdoor for residents. From casual seating areas to catch up with friends to communal herb gardens and dog parks, you’re sure to find a way to get outside this year!
Read a book in the clubhouse
Reading more is such a sweet and simple resolution that often gets overlooked. Who feels like they have time to read for pleasure anymore?! But when you’ve got a beautiful clubhouse to relax in, setting aside more time for reading feels a little more manageable. Jot down a list of books you want to read this year and cross them off as you go! Kick up your feet and get cozy!
Grill out with friends
If you feel like you missed out on a lot of the warm weather festivities last year with friends, 2022 might just be your year! When the cold days are behind us and the sun starts peeking out more often, grab your close group of friends and head to the grilling stations. Fresh air and home-cooked food can go a long way!
What are your New Year’s resolutions for 2022?
We’d love to see how you’re using Evolve’s amenities to bring your resolutions to life this year! Be sure to tag us on IG so we can see how you #evolvethewayyoulive in 2022!

Our Favorite Ways to Make Your Front Door Festive This Season
Spread cheer with a festive front door this year
It feels like we say it every year, but it’s so hard to believe it’s already the holiday season! Here at Evolve, we’re all about getting festive with holiday décor to spread cheer far and wide! As always, we want your apartment to feel like a home – and what better way to invite in that cozy vibe than with holiday decorations? With no front yard to go full Griswold on, we love the idea of decorating your front door! Check out our favorite ways to make your front door festive this season.
Keep it classy
If you’re not into tastefully tacky holiday decorations, keep things classy with muted colors and sophisticated décor. We love soft and subtle colors like blues, greens, and golds. A wreath is the perfect classy touch to any front door. If you’re looking for an extra touch of holiday cheer, try adding small Christmas trees on either side of the door as well.
Deck the halls
Go all out with a front door just as decked out as your tree! Create a garland border around your door frame, and even add some string lights to really brighten it up. Try using double-sided tape to add lightweight ornaments as well. Get creative with it and make it your own! Strings of popcorn, pom pom garlands, and strings of beads are some other sweet ideas for decking the halls.
The biggest gift
A super simple but effective way to get festive with your front door is to wrap it up like a present! Because who doesn’t love big gifts?! Grab your favorite wrapping paper and go wild. Add an oversized bow as the cherry on top!
It’s all about tradition
Stick to a more traditional vibe with greenery, berries, pinecones, and other goodies found in nature. We love the idea of adding more natural elements and earthy tones to a traditional wreath or garland!
Santa’s workshop
Bring the magic of the season to life by turning your front door into an entrance to Santa’s workshop. Oversized candy canes on either side of your door and elves hard at work are just a couple of ways to spread the cheer! You can even get really crafty and make a mailbox for Santa to receive all of his letters and lists!
Oh, it’s vintage
Who doesn’t love retro décor – especially at Christmas? Big, bright string lights and vintage ornaments that you might have seen on your grandma’s tree are some of our favorite ways to get festive. Incorporate oversized Christmas lights into garland surrounding your front door, and add a wreath adorned with ornaments from the 1950s and 60s!
How are you making your front door festive this season?
What are your favorite ways to spread holiday cheer? We’d love to see how you’re decorating this season! Be sure to tag us on IG so we can see how you #evolvethewayyoulive during the holidays!

Evolving Into 2022: What’s on the Horizon for Evolve
How we’re evolving into the New Year
It’s hard to believe we’re already in the final stretch of 2021! What a crazy couple of years we’ve had. Here at Evolve, we’ve had plenty of projects to keep us busy so we can continue helping you live in a community where you can grow (have you checked out Evolve Surf City or Evolve at Heritage yet?!). With private paradise vibes and resort-style amenities, we want your home to always feel like a permanent vacation. Keep reading to check out what’s on the horizon and how we’re evolving into 2022.
New Hope Farm
We’ve got some awesome projects on the horizon for 2022—one we’re really excited about is Evolve at New Hope Farm in Spartanburg, South Carolina.
New Hope Farm has been in the Snoddy family for seven generations since King George III conveyed the land to them in 1774. New Hope Farm has seen a lot in its lifetime—from being a social center and a post office to a working farm and a stagecoach stop.
Currently, the structures on the land are a single-story Folk Victorian residence built in 1885 and outbuildings like the barn, the cook’s house, and the smoke house—all built of wood with tin roofs. The farm is also home to a beautiful freshwater spring and pond.
The land of New Hope Farm is teeming with history, which makes this project incredibly unique. At Evolve, our plan is to create a luxury community with a modern farm-style design while honoring what’s already there. With a stunning clubhouse and fitness center, resort-style swimming pool, pool house and grilling cabana, pickleball court, playground, and dog park, you’re sure to have all the major necessities at your fingertips.
Additionally, Evolve plans to repurpose the existing historical buildings on the property! The Folk Victorian residence would make a perfect coffee shop, and the large red barn could be converted into an eclectic brewery.
Many of New Hope Farm’s other historical structures and mature heritage trees will also remain on the land to preserve the deeply rooted history of the farm and add character to what’s on the horizon for 2022.
Construction on Evolve at New Hope Farm is set to begin in early 2022 and could be complete by summer of 2023. We couldn’t be more excited for this project—keep your eyes peeled to see how it evolves!
How are you evolving into 2022?
