Hello Residents, and Happy June!

laughing out loud on grass

This month, we’d like to introduce you to our newest Community Assistant, John Connor. He’s the CA for buildings A and C. Be sure to come in and say hello! We hope you enjoyed our Cinco de Mayo fiesta and taco bar as well as our Super Waffle Wednesday events last month. We have a bunch more coming up in June, including our annual Fish Fry and our VIPool Party. We also hope that you’re having a fantastic summer, whether you’re hanging out here or going on vacation abroad!

Maintenance Tips 

 

Summer is finally here! And with summer comes hotter weather and summer vacations! If you’re leaving this summer, make sure you are unplugging any unnecessary appliances and turning up your A/C if the apartment is empty. If you’re having A/C issues, please come to the front office or give us a call. Make sure you and your guests are staying safe by the pool by drinking responsibly and not bringing glass to the pool deck. Keep the amenities and parking lots clear by picking up any of your garbage!

 

 

Reminders & Updates 

 

  • If you are having visitors over, make sure they are parking in the visitor lot behind a yellow bumper if they’re staying after 8:00 p.m.
  • We’ve gotten a new recycling dumpster between buildings D and F! Be sure you are only putting recyclable materials in the bin and not bags of garbage. Be sure all the trash is making it into the dumpsters so the local wildlife can’t access it.
  • Pick up after your animals! There are doggie bag stations throughout the property, and we now have Northgate doggie bag holders! Come by and grab one from the promo shelf in the office.
  • As we have events throughout the summer, feel free to invite guests and keep in mind that you are responsible for their actions.

 

Summer Like a Local

 

Whether you’re going home or staying put for the summer, take advantage of all our community has to offer! Summers can be a great chance to enjoy the area in some new and different ways. With the hectic pace of school, many students miss out on opportunities to get involved and have fun in their local community during the academic year — it’s time to change that! From festivals to parks and local attractions, below are some ways you can summer like a local. As a bonus, most of them are either free or very affordable!

 

  • Do something touristy
  • Visit a farmers market
  • Check out a local sporting event
  • Visit your Chamber of Commerce website to find out about local attractions
  • Find a calendar of nearby fairs and festivals
  • Enjoy Fourth of July festivities and fireworks
  • Hike or bike a nearby trail
  • Volunteer with a local organization
  • Have a picnic
  • Go to an outdoor movie or concert
  • Run or walk a local 5K

 

We’ll also be planning events and activities for you throughout the summer, and if you need ideas for other fun things to do in the area, please let us know. We have information on area resources and a local calendar of events on hand to give you plenty of options. Have a memorable and fun summer!
