3 Reasons Cornhole is Ideal for Apartment Communities

3 Reasons Cornhole is Ideal for Apartment Communities

Cornhole has been around forever, but taken the country by storm in the last few years, growing from a backyuard game popular in the midwest into a national phenonemon including local leagues and tournaments in every state, and a professional league that's featured on ESPN! 

What you might not know is that cornhole is the ideal addition to amenities at apartment communities like yours! Why's that?

Today's Renters Don’t Just Want a Place to Live — They Want a Place to Belong

Modern renters are looking for more than square footage. They want connection; they crave community; they want places that feel social and alive — not just private boxes stacked on top of each other.

Amenities That Bring People Together Stand Out

Gyms and pools are great, but the real secret to boosting resident satisfaction and retention? Shared experiences. When neighbors play together, they stick around. A game of cornhole might seem simple, but it’s a low-effort, high-impact way to turn strangers into friends.

“We added a set of cornhole boards to our courtyard and now it’s the most-used space on the property.”
— Property Manager, Austin, TX

Cornhole Is Universal, Inclusive, and Timeless

Young or old, competitive or casual — cornhole is a very rare activity that crosses generations and personalities. It’s easy to learn, safe for all ages, and perfect for lazy afternoons, rooftop happy hours, or weekend events.
