The 234 Apartment

June 01, 2012 | By TONY BACEWICZ If customer word of mouth is still the best sales tool, the new one- and two- bedroom luxury apartments at Autumn Chase in Ellington may not be vacant for long based on conversations with several long-term tenants. Carl Larson moved from a home in Hebron to his two-bedroom apartment at Autumn Chase 10 years ago where he continues to enjoy his retirement. Autumn Chase was his first stop while on his apartment hunt and he continued comparison shopping in Vernon and Manchester. He returned to Autumn Chase when he could not find anything as attractive. "I really liked the layout of the facility here, and as I looked at other apartments, I liked it more and more," says Larson. Autumn Chase apartment buildings are set back a comfortable distance from West Road in Ellington and are buffered by an expansive green space that includes a pond with a fountain and a small wetland lined with cattails. The complex includes several more ponds, a wel...

Moving into a Woodlake apartment for rent is an ideal way to integrate yourself into a scenic area of the California's capital. Your new residence will sit close to a scenic river that ebbs and flows and eventually connects with other water thoroughfares that snake their way through the suburban and rural landscape. After you and your family settle into your Woodlake apartment, you will be able to enjoy everything your surrounding area has to offer - notably the fresh air. Right across the river from you is the Riverbend Nature Area , which is a large plot grass , peppered with small bodies of water, trees and vegetation. There are also walking trails that wind around the perimeter of area, which are great for weekend strolls or after work constitutionals. If you are interested in golf, then hitting the green will be an easy task with the Swallow's Nest Country Club right in the vicinity. Getting around will be an ease-filled task especially with the main routes that cut righ...

Does the old saying “Location, location, location” really matter to today’s renters? MHN and Kingsley Associates paired up to find out what residents thing about their apartment’s neighborhood. “The location of my apartment is perfect.

More than 20 residents at Greenbrier Gardens Apartments have been displaced due to flood damage. Senior Area Manager for Leddic Management Group Michelle Cook , who oversees the apartments, said residents living in 22 apartments must vacate their homes by Sunday. “Despite rumors, these are not being condemned,” she told the Log Cabin Democrat on Wednesday. “Our main priority is the health and safety of residents and the apartments affected [from flood waters] are in need of repair.” Looking into the apartments, it was clear water levels rose about one-foot off the ground, ruining carpeting and damaging furniture and residents’ other personal belongings . Greenbrier Alderman Joyce Johnson was at the apartments helping three family members living in three separate apartments pack their belongings Wednesday . “We need help, we need supplies out here,” she said, noting residents did not have long before having to leave their homes and find storage for their belongings.

A whole new 14-piece dining set — including the tables, chairs, area rug, dishware and even placemats — sells for $499.99.

San Francisco is celebrating the Summer of Love’s 50th anniversary. Most of the celebrants are probably dead and buried by now, especially its high priests like Allen Ginsburg who passed into Eternity in the dingy East Village , Timothy Leary, Jerry Garcia, Emmet Grogan of the Diggers (remember them). In truth, there hasn’t been much of a to-do about the historic occasion. Today’s “with it” residents of the Bay Area live in the moment. Vintage refers to their last but one smart phone; antique is their pre-updated software from Microsoft. The “Summer Of Love” – if they can recognize the name at all – belongs to the Neolithic Age or whenever it was that the skies were filled with flying dinosaurs instead of Amazon delivery drones . Only the De Young Museum has done its civic duty in bowing to the past. A mile away from the Haight-Ashby, they have organized a nostalgic exhibition that features the vivid psychedelic posters from Bill Graham’s Fillmore Ballroom concerts and the accoutre...

AT least two projects nestled in a mature residential precinct in District 9 near Somerset are being run as serviced apartments - despite not having the regulatory approval to do so - and a third one is opening. Oxley Thanksgiving Residence , a freehold condominium at 328 River Valley Road owned by Chinese temple Poh Ern Shih , and St Thomas Lodge , which also sits on freehold land at 32 St Thomas Walk , are listed for short-term stay on the website of accommodation service provider Atas Residence .

BT's query to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) confirmed that these three properties are currently approved for residential use, but "do not have planning permission to...
