Regarding hosting people for events and such, I don't currently do that only because of the size of my apartment. It is just the right size for me and one of my life-skills tutors or one other person, yet there aren't enough places to sit. However, when I lived downstairs in the same building it was a different story. I had a roommate, who was honestly rather moody and not that great with event planning. But he and I hosted a dinner party not long after we moved in. We invited our building mates and their families, and the event ended up being a lot of fun. Our tutors also attended. We had hors d'oeuvres sp? for all to enjoy, plus dinner followed by another activity and then dessert.
The 2 guys who currently occupy that apartment have had me and the other building mates over, and they always bring out snacks. Same is true of the other people in my building. We currently have a vacancy, because someone moved out a few weeks ago. But that apartment is almost identical to mine, so each tenant there never hosted. Actually we tried having one of our weekly meetings in that apartment, but it didn't fly over so well as we were cramped.
Our backyard is pretty spacious, so we host events out there when the weather is in our favor. Before the current landlords took over, we were also able to host events in the community room. A hair salon is now occupying the storefront in the building, but the new community room is pretty open.
