4 Apartment Lessons for 2021

January 5, 2021 by Mike

As we kick off the first week of the new year, there are probably many things you’re looking forward to leaving behind in the previous year. Rightfully so, 2020 was an indescribable year; it left many us in an unfamiliar place, and in turn, have you believing that nothing good came from it. Yes, that year was very challenging, and while it might be easy to want to forget 2020 entirely, there are many things to take away. We learned a lot about ourselves; we found out how strong we can be, we found out creative we can be, we found out how patient we can be. These lessons and realizations will continue to help us as we navigate into 2021.

Last year, we became more familiar with ourselves; we got more familiar with something else, too—our apartment homes.

As an apartment dweller, you spent more time inside of your four walls in 2020 than any other period before. This time made you realize that your apartment space needs a fresh look going into a new year after months of looking at the same decor and stylings.

If 2020 didn’t teach us anything else, it taught all of us how to get creative with our spaces in more ways than we can imagine. Use that same energy to add some new life into your area for a fresh 365 days.

Below are four apartment features you must have for 2021.

A REAL “ WFH” Station

Last year could have easily be defined as “The year we all started working from home.” While that caught pretty much all of us off guard in 2020, 2021, there is no excuse not to be fully prepared for however much longer we will be working from home.

For those apartment renters’ that don’t have an extra room to set up as an office area, there are several ways to accomplish remote work productivity in a small apartment space.

Below are a few helpful articles you can read to start your journey of mastering your apartment workspace.

New Cooking Supplies

In 2020, we all took home cooking to new heights! All the extra time spent inside our apartment homes had a lot of us mastering old recipes while simultaneously exploring brand new ones.

While doing so, the cooking tools that you previously use on occasion went into overdrive.

As we move into the new year, add a fresh look to your kitchen by purchasing some new cooking essentials. Like most newly discovered apartment chefs, you’ve probably already found some new kitchen gadgets that will make your cooking experience that much better!

Here is a list of a few must-have tools for your kitchen going into the new year.

Working out from Home Equipment

Last year, we had to get used to working out from home. Even though our gym has since reopened using COVID-19 protocols, some apartment-dwellers might have found an at-home workout routine that does the trick!

Start your new year off with some fresh workout equipment.

Here are some excellent fitness equipment options for your apartment home.

Apartment Organizing Tools

In 2020, we learned of all the purposes that our apartment homes can serve; our spaces became art studios, gyms, movie theaters, and more! With all of these activities, keeping your apartment home organized became that much harder.

Here are some apartment organization tools you need for a productive 2021.

Last year took us for an unexpected ride. And there’s nothing like that “fresh start” feeling. But as we attempt to make this year the best one we’ve ever had, let’s not forget the lessons learned in 2020 that will benefit us greatly in this current year.

Retailers Coming to Crest at Skyland

July 24, 2020 by Daniel Moss

Crest at Skyland Town-center will be the home of several popular retailers over the next couple of years. We can’t wait for future Crest residents, and Skyland DC locals to indulge in a brand new shopping experience!

Take a look below at some of the first retailers that are going to be coming to Crest at Skyland Town-Center.

Starbucks:

DC’s first-ever drive-through Starbucks is coming to Skyland Town Center. This will provide Crest residents with easy access to their favorite caffeinated drinks. Enjoy a nice refreshing cup of coffee just steps away from your front door! No matter, if it’s a warm summer day, or a chilly winter afternoon, having a Starbucks within walking distance, will add pure deliciousness to an already incredible living experience.

Lidl Grocery:

Along with the first-ever drive-through Starbucks, Skyland Town-Center is going to be the home of another DC first. Lidl grocery store is also set to be the first major grocery chain to come to southeast DC. This resourceful grocery chain is a huge convenience for future Crest residents as they will be able to conveniently shop from an array of fresh grocery items.

According to DC Urban Turf, “Lidl is a 46-year-old German grocery brand known for its sustainable sourcing and its private-label goods, making it somewhat comparable to a Trader Joe’s or Aldi’s. Already well-established and -known in Europe, the company opened its first store in the United States in 2017.”

CVS:

CVS is the latest service retailer to be announced as being a part of the shopping options at Skyland Town Center. This health company will serve as an excellent resource for picking up medical prescriptions and essential household needs.
