Winter Floorplan Spotlight: The 2-C at Crest

by Holli Beckman

Winter is the season of cozy nights, slower mornings, and turning your apartment into a true sanctuary. The 2-C floorplan at Crest at Skyland Town Center is a two bedroom apartment designed for exactly that—combining smart layout choices, private bedrooms, and bright living spaces that work just as well for quiet nights in as they do for hosting friends.

Let’s step inside.

A Two Bedroom Apartment with Space for Everyone

The 2-C is a true two-bedroom, two-bathroom floorplan built with privacy in mind. Each bedroom is positioned on opposite sides of the apartment and includes a walk-in closet and its own private entrance to a full bathroom.

This two bedroom apartment layout works beautifully whether you’re living with a roommate, a partner, or setting up a guest suite or home office. Everyone gets their own space to retreat, recharge, and maintain their own routine—especially valuable during the winter months when home does a little bit of everything.

A Kitchen That Can Handle It All

At the heart of the 2-C is a spacious, L-shaped kitchen anchored by a center island. This is the kind of kitchen that supports real life—meal prepping for the week, late-night baking projects, or setting up your laptop with a cup of coffee in the morning.

You’ll find generous counter space, sleek stainless steel appliances, and modern cabinetry with room for everything from air fryers to slow cookers. Whether you’re cooking solo or entertaining, the kitchen is designed to keep up.

Spacious Living with Natural Light

The open living and dining area sits between the two bedrooms, giving the apartment a natural separation that makes it feel more like a home than a typical apartment. There’s room for a full sofa, a dining table, and even an extra touch like a reading chair or plant nook.

While the Juliet balcony isn’t meant for furniture, it does one very important thing—it floods the living space with natural light. During shorter winter days, that brightness makes a noticeable difference, keeping the apartment feeling open and energized all day long.

No More Shared Laundry

Once you’ve lived with a full-size, side-by-side washer and dryer, it’s hard to imagine going back. In the 2-C floorplan, laundry is private, efficient, and conveniently located just off the kitchen—making it easy to stay on top of everyday routines without leaving home.

Why the 2-C Shines in Winter

In colder months, your apartment becomes your gym, your office, your happy hour, and your escape. The 2-C is designed to support that seasonal shift with:

  • Defined zones for working, lounging, and dining
  • Private bedrooms for quiet mornings and different schedules
  • Bright natural light to help balance shorter days
  • A layout that feels both functional and warm

It’s a two bedroom apartment floorplan that adapts to how you actually live—especially when you’re spending more time at home.

Everything You Need, Right Outside

Living at Crest means you’re steps away from Skyland Town Center, with everyday conveniences right downstairs. Starbucks, LIDL, CVS, and more are all within easy reach.

Whether you’re picking up groceries for a soup-night dinner, grabbing a peppermint mocha, or running a quick errand without braving a long winter walk, convenience is built into your daily routine.

New Year, New Routines: 5 Small Habits for Big Impact

by Holli Beckman

A new year often comes with new year routines. A fresh start doesn’t have to mean a complete overhaul. At Crest at Skyland Town Center, we believe the most lasting changes come from small, intentional habits that actually fit into your real life. From energizing your mornings to protecting your evenings, here are five simple ways to kick off your new year—and how life at Crest makes them easier to maintain.

1. Start Your Day Before Your Phone Does

A woman sitting on a couch looks at her smartphone while using her other hand to touch the screen; an open box and folded jeans are nearby, as she considers new year routines.

Before emails, notifications, and scrolling take over, give yourself five to ten quiet minutes to ease into the day. If your apartment includes a private balcony, step outside with your coffee, stretch, or simply take in the morning light. It’s a small pause that helps reset your mind before the day begins.

Working from home? Try starting your morning in a different environment. Heading down to the resident lounge or conference room instead of opening your laptop on the couch can help signal a more focused, intentional start to the day.

2. Hydrate Like You Mean It

Hydration may not be glamorous, but it’s one of the easiest habits to improve your energy and focus. Keep a water bottle by your bedside or on your kitchen island and aim to finish it before your first cup of coffee. Refill before lunch and let consistency—not perfection—be the goal.

Crest’s modern kitchens make this habit simple, with plenty of space to keep a chilled pitcher or filtered water ready whenever you need it.

3. Move in Minutes, Not Hours

You don’t need an hour-long workout to feel accomplished. Even ten, fifteen, or thirty minutes of movement can make a noticeable difference in your mood and energy. Crest’s two-story fitness center makes it easy to fit movement into your day—whether that’s a quick treadmill walk, a short strength circuit, or a stretch session between meetings.

When your gym is just an elevator ride away, showing up becomes the hardest part—and the easiest win.

4. Prep One Meal, Enjoy It All Week

Colorful meal prep containers with falafel, chickpeas, rice, and vegetables for a healthy lifestyle.

Meal prep doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing. Instead of planning every meal, choose just one to prepare for the week—overnight oats for breakfast, grain bowls for lunch, or a versatile dinner base you can mix and match.

With full-size refrigerators and ample kitchen cabinetry, Crest apartments are designed to support simple planning that saves time and reduces weekday stress.

5. Protect Your Evenings

How you end your day matters just as much as how you start it. Choose one small habit that signals it’s time to wind down—reading a few pages of a book, taking a hot shower, dimming the lights, or playing a calming playlist.

Crest’s quiet apartments, spacious floor plans, and thoughtful lighting create the ideal environment for evenings that feel restorative rather than rushed.

Small Habits, Real Results

At Crest, we design homes that support your routines—no matter how simple they are. Whether your goal is better focus, less stress, or more balance, small habits practiced consistently can have a big impact over time.

What are the best new year routines to start with?

The best new year routines are simple and realistic—like starting your day without your phone, drinking more water, moving for 10–30 minutes, meal prepping one item, and protecting your evenings.

How can I make new year routines easier to stick with?

Focus on small habits, tie them to existing routines, and make them convenient. Keeping goals simple and consistent makes them easier to maintain.

How does Crest at Skyland Town Center support healthy routines?

Crest supports routines with modern kitchens for meal prep, quiet apartments for better wind-down habits, and a two-story fitness center that makes quick workouts easy.

What are quick workouts that fit into a busy schedule?

A 10–30 minute treadmill walk, short strength circuit, or quick yoga/stretch session can boost energy and mood without requiring a full workout hour.

Why is an evening routine important?

An evening routine helps your body and mind decompress, improves sleep quality, and makes it easier to feel calm and focused the next day.
