Analyzing the top ten community features wanted by Millennials reveals some patterns, one being that Millennials care about outdoor activity spaces. For example, the second most-wanted feature is walking/jogging trails.

The theme of outdoor activity spaces pops up again with playgrounds and swimming pools, wanted by 65 and 63 percent of Millennials, respectively.
