× I really appreciate how the community celebrate various festivals throughout the year.
✓ I really appreciate how the community celebrates various festivals throughout the year.
The subject 'community' is singular, so the verb should be in the third person singular form 'celebrates' to agree with the subject.
× The like shopping centers, Cineplex and hospitals, schools, everything is there and it's a good place to.
✓ There are shopping centers, Cineplex, hospitals, schools, everything is there and it's a good place too.
The original sentence incorrectly uses 'The like' instead of 'There are' to indicate existence of plural items. Also, 'to' at the end should be 'too' to mean 'also'.
× I live at my in laws house.
✓ I live at my in-laws' house.
The phrase 'in laws house' needs hyphenation and possessive apostrophe to correctly indicate the house belonging to the in-laws.
× it owes my special memories for me.
✓ it holds special memories for me.
The verb 'owes' is incorrectly used here; 'holds' is appropriate to express that the hometown contains special memories. Also, 'my' is unnecessary before 'special memories'.
