Meet Your Neighbor... Minnesota Club

This week on the Meet Your Neighbor Podcast, I sit down with Kjersten Merila, president of the Minnesota Club here in Westbrook Village.

Kjersten shares her journey from Minnesota to Arizona and how she’s helped build a strong sense of community for fellow Midwesterners through the Minnesota Club. From organizing events to creating meaningful connections, she’s played a big role in making Westbrook feel like home for so many.

It’s a great conversation about community, connection, and the little things that make this neighborhood special.

If you’ve ever thought about making a move to Westbrook Village or know someone who would love the lifestyle here, I’d be happy to help.

Steve Merila — Host, Meet Your Neighbor
As Realtor Steve, I’ve learned that real estate is about more than houses — it’s about people, stories, and the connections that make a community feel like home. That belief inspired Meet Your Neighbor, a podcast where I sit down with the incredible residents of Westbrook Village to share their journeys, passions, and what brought them here.
Each episode is a genuine, easygoing conversation — like chatting over coffee with a friend — that reminds us how special this community truly is. My goal is simple: to help people connect, feel seen, and celebrate the amazing neighbors who make Westbrook Village one of a kind.
