Suburban Jungle makes it easy for your talent to find their perfect community.
In today’s competitive hiring landscape, offering a well-rounded benefits package is more important than ever. It’s not just about salary anymore—flexibility, personal well-being, and services that cater to employees’ lives outside of work are top priorities. Companies that go the extra mile to support their employees’ holistic needs, including where and how they live, have a major advantage in attracting and retaining top talent.
So, how can you stay ahead? Whether you’re relocating a new hire, supporting employees facing return-to-office policies, expanding into a new market, or keeping your workforce engaged and motivated, Suburban Jungle is here to help. Incorporating our services into your benefits package will show candidates and employees that your company understands their needs, values their lifestyle and is truly invested in their long-term success and happiness.
The Hiring Game Has Changed (Again)
The last few years have reshaped where and how people work and live. While remote work opened new doors, the recent wave of return-to-office mandates is changing priorities again. Employees who once moved farther from their jobs for a flexible lifestyle may now rethink where they live, aiming for towns with reasonable commutes. Others still enjoy remote work but want access to communities that better suit their lifestyle, offering walkability, strong schools, and a sense of belonging.
The numbers tell the story. According to recent studies, workers who have hybrid or remote flexibility are still making moves at higher rates than fully on-site employees. And now, with RTO policies taking hold at major companies, balancing lifestyle needs with work proximity is becoming a top concern for many employees.
This is where Suburban Jungle shines. Our team of experts helps clients zero in on towns that fit their priorities—whether commuting to the city two days a week or working remotely full-time.

Relocating or Expanding? We’ve Got You Covered
Businesses are constantly growing and adapting to new markets. Expanding your footprint is exciting, but moving employees can be overwhelming—especially when families are involved. Offering Suburban Jungle as part of your relocation package is a game-changer. We provide a highly personalized experience at no cost to your company.
Relocation is often a make-or-break moment for employees. Moving to a new community can be a stressful, high-stakes process, and it’s easy for employees to feel overwhelmed. That’s why Suburban Jungle takes a town-first approach, ensuring employees aren’t just moving into a house but into a community that meets their needs, from commute options to school systems to neighborhood amenities.
Our expertise can help your employees feel confident and excited about their move—which, in turn, helps them hit the ground running when they start their new role.
Supporting Employees Through the Stress of Moving
Moving is one of the most stressful life events, often ranking higher than starting a new job or having a baby. And while most corporate relocation packages cover the logistics of buying and selling homes, they often leave out a crucial element: finding the right town.
Imagine this: an employee moves into what seemed like their dream home, only to discover the town’s vibe, commute, or amenities don’t match their expectations. This scenario plays out far too often, and it’s why our town-first approach is essential.
At Suburban Jungle, we start with an initial strategy session to learn what matters to each client and their family. From there, we create a tailored list of towns that align with their priorities, including:
- Commute times and transportation options
- School districts, sports programs, and extracurricular activities
- Walkability and local amenities (parks, shops, and restaurants)
- Community vibe and opportunities to connect with other families
Our local partner agents then take clients on personalized town tours, a key step that lets them experience each community firsthand. Whether they explore schools, visit playgrounds, or check out local coffee shops, these tours provide an insider’s perspective that online research can’t match.
The result? Your employees feel more confident about their move, knowing they’ve found the right community. And your HR team is freed from having to answer endless questions about neighborhoods, schools, and lifestyle options.
Balancing Remote Work, Return-to-Office, and Everything in Between
For some employees, remote work is here to stay. These workers might prioritize finding a community that supports their family’s long-term needs—great schools, outdoor spaces, and an active downtown scene. However, with return-to-office policies making a comeback, others focus on commuting convenience and hybrid-friendly neighborhoods.
“Every client’s situation is unique,” explains Melissa Schneider, Director of Corporate Development. “That’s why our personalized approach matters so much. We take the time to understand their work schedule, commute preferences, and lifestyle goals to guide them to towns that offer the right balance.”
Suburban Jungle has helped countless employees and families navigate these evolving priorities, ensuring they find the perfect town to support their professional and personal lives—whether proximity to public transit or a thriving remote-friendly community with coworking spaces and reliable internet access.
