On The Town!

When it comes to your precious pooch, chances are you’re always game for providing them with some much-needed fresh air and sunshine.   This is no exception when it comes to enjoying your residence’s exterior amenities! Most residences offer an on-site dog park for your pet to enjoy, and tenants should always take advantage when they can! But when going out with man’s best friend, it’s important to make note of proper dog park etiquette so that everyone has a great time.   First, make sure to assess whether or not your dog is comfortable potentially being around other dogs. We all know that Rover’s a complete sweetheart indoors, but some dogs can get nervous or aggressive during unfamiliar situations, especially if they haven’t had much experience around other dogs in the past. Take some time to ease them into things. If you know that they won’t take well to other dogs, keep a tight hold of their leash and make sure you’re watching them. Your dog might slowly come out of his...

It’s July! That means the days are hotter than ever and time spent indoors is all the more valuable to your health and comfort!   Since hot weather typically means you’ll be inside a lot more often, it’s sometimes difficult to determine just how to spend your weekend when you feel there’s nothing to do around town! Your apartment acts as your home, as well as a gateway to entertainment during the best (and worst) of times! Time spent becoming acquainted with all the odds and ends of your living space is essential for really experiencing the full joys that apartment living has to offer!   This summer, it’s important to stay cool and keep hydrated. Make sure that your unit is always well equipped with a proper AC unit and keep track of your electrical usage if you’re living in areas with higher-than-average temperatures. And especially remember to contact your resident leasing staff in the event that something happens where you’re not getting enough cooling!   Additionall...

I’m a sucker when it comes to fun, FREE events. And that’s where this latest Houston adventure comes in. KDA Markets will be presenting Market at the Stables, featuring a ton of exciting things to see and do including food, music and good vibes all around! Guests can support some of Houston’s very best local small businesses, as well as just a fun and welcoming atmosphere for everyone! Houston’s markets always bring in a sense of fun and creativity, especially if you’re new to the city and looking to become more acquainted with the city’s people and climate. When it comes to shopping at these sorts of markets, it’s always worth it in my opinion, especially if you’re looking to purchase some of the best foods and accessories in the region.  This event has plenty of different things for families to take part in, including a Slime Station for the kids as well as a local kidpreneur who will help your little ones uncover the art of making their own slime! Sounds pretty yucky for parents...

Austin is absolutely wild...literally! One of the more exciting things to do around the city is to take a gander at some of its most iconic imagery and wildlife. And I’m not talking about its downtown area! One thing that Austin has above all other cities in Texas is its absolutely stunning display of public bat watching.  Yes, you heard me...BATS. These squeaky little critters might seem a bit spooky up close, but there’s something eerily breathtaking about seeing a bunch of them flying around from a distance. And Austin fits that description swimmingly, to the point where Austin residents now have the opportunity to see it for themselves during the perfect hours of the evening!  Capital Cruises has, for many years now, advertised its internationally-famous bat watching tour. Tours depart 30 minutes before sunset and allows for guests to experience the heart-pounding magic of watching these fascinating creatures lift-off together in the night sky--a real eye-opening experienc...
