Creating a culture of belonging is one of the guiding principles of Hillwood Communities. And our new home communities, like Harvest by Hillwood in Argyle/Northlake, TX, are purposefully designed so residents can live life together for greater joy and mutual support. The affinity groups at Harvest by Hillwood in Argyle/Northlake, TX (which are part of our award-winning lifestyle program) are one way we help connect neighbors and create community. At Harvest, everyone has a place where they belong.
The dictionary definition of “affinity group” is “a group of people having a common interest or goal or acting together for a specific purpose.” Affinity groups are common both in the workplace and in the greater community. As Harvest residents meet each other through broad, community-wide activities and events, people become acquainted with others and discover commonalities. When smaller groups assemble to partake in more focused, niche activities, affinity groups are born!
Harvest has an affinity group for almost everyone. Some of our community affinity groups are centered around identity, helping people to meet their peers:
Other Harvest community affinity groups focus on providing support for residents who have unique needs or concerns, allowing those neighbors to form micro communities that provide support, encouragement, and understanding. They include:

Affinity groups are made of people with a common interest, identity, or purpose, who voluntarily come together to share information, resources, and support.
Affinity groups are often centered around identity, interest, or support. Examples of identity-based affinity groups include groups for people of color, those with common ancestry, and women’s groups. Examples of interest-based affinity groups include book clubs, hobby groups, and card playing groups. Support-based affinity groups may include people fighting cancer or parents of homeschooled or special needs children.
Members of affinity groups are people who self-identify as having a common interest or identity.
People join affinity groups to connect with others who share a common social identity. They may join for support, friendship, or just a sense of belonging.
Affinity groups can build a sense of community. Group members can mentor and support each other, share resources, raise funds, promote or publicize an event or issue, or simply have fun being with like-minded people. Affinity groups can also combat loneliness for people who feel alone, unseen, or “other.”
Some of Harvest’s affinity groups were started by our award-winning Lifestyle Director, Page Austin. Others grew organically out of a need or desire. All of them help build community and make Harvest a home you’ll never want to leave.
