Apartment Living with Pets

Apartment Living with Pets

When it comes to apartment living, there’s not many other things that can make your apartment feel like home more than a loyal pet by your side. At all of our Tonsmeire Properties communities, we care about your pet as much as you do. That’s why not only do our communities provide their residents with a community pet park, but each offers a pet-friendly community for you and your beloved pet for years to come. We’ve made a list of things to have (and do!) to ensure you and your pet are living your best life. 

Create a Sanctuary For Your Pet 

It’s true when they say your home is your sanctuary. That also goes for your pet! Your home is their sanctuary and it’s important they view it as such. Just like how you like to come home to your own haven, your pets do too! Set up an area for your pet to relax and unwind. Make this area as comfortable as possible, so when it’s time, your pet can retreat to where it wants to be most! We recommend laying out a bed or mat to start off creating your pet’s sanctuary. 

Establish a Routine 

Just like humans, pets thrive off of routine! Establish a routine that fits around your schedule and one that can benefit your pet the most. This can be starting off your morning routine with a walk, breakfast, play time, training or any routine that you and your pet can establish together. Establishing a routine while living in an apartment community is vital to your pet’s overall health and well-being. 

Exercise Them Accordingly 

This is a no-brainer! Exercise for your pet based on their needs can make or break them. Every pet needs some type of exercise, and as their owner, it’s your responsibility to make sure exercise is part of their daily routine. Visit our community pet park, take them on walks, play indoor games or challenge them with a high intensity exercise or game. This will surely benefit your pet and they’ll be sure to thank you with lots of pet love. 

Keep Them Entertained 

It’s easy for pet owners to get caught up in their own daily routine and responsibilities. However, keeping your pet entertained during the day while you’re away or while you’re at home is a big deal to them. Consider getting some daytime help for your pet so they’re never feeling bored. During meal time, make their food a game by purchasing food dispensary toys or slow feeders. Another great way to keep your pet entertained is spreading treats or food around your home and letting them find them for a sweet treat! 

Visit The Vet Regularly 

No matter what the reason is for, a trip to the vet is always beneficial for your pet. When living in an apartment community, you’re likely going to be around other pets. It’s important to make sure your pet’s health records and shots are up-to-date to protect your pet and the other pets in your community. A healthy pet always lives a happy life!

When your pets are happy, we know you are happy! At all of our Tonsmeire Properties communities, we can help you create a pet-friendly space that will keep you and your pets comfortable for years to come. Visit our website www.tonsmeireproperties.com today to view all of our communities.

What Makes Apartment Living Feel Like Community?

What Makes Apartment Living Feel Like Community?

There are an incredible amount of benefits to apartment community living. As a resident, you have access to many convenient on-site amenities, 24-hour emergency maintenance services and a community staff always ready to serve you. With all of that said, what makes apartment living feel like a community? We’re going to explore all the ways our Tonsmeire Properties communities go above and beyond to ensure our residents not only feel at home, but thrive in apartment communities like ours.

Simplicity

Apartment living can rid the responsibilities of ensuring your home and appliances are working the way they should. This means that, as a resident, you can enjoy and experience your community with less stress, leading to a happier and healthier quality of life, wherever you are. This is because, at each of our Tonsmeire Properties communities, we offer a helpful and educated staff that is always ready to serve their residents and help solve any issues they may face with their apartment home and community experience. You’re able to utilize your free time doing the things you want to do, rather than spending it renovating, repairing and installing materials, appliances and items you need for daily life to run smoothly. Our communities are committed to always searching for new ways to make their residents’ lives easier. 

Connection

We’re all wired for connection with one another. When living in an apartment community, the opportunity to connect with your neighbors is vast with many ways to connect and grow lifelong friendships. When you’re able to worry less about your living situation, you’re given the opportunity to interact and find community around you easier. Community is always at the core of what we do. At our Tonsmeire Properties communities, we encourage our residents to find a community where you are with the individuals and neighbors you’re surrounded with. We believe in community so much that we’ve intentionally placed areas for connection to happen: community garden, common area pavilions, outdoor pools, pet parks and the list goes on.

Financial Flexibility

Apartment living gives you the financial flexibility to shape your spending around the lifestyle you feel most called to. The tradeoffs for apartment living just make sense! Instead of funding a new roof to be replaced, you’re able to utilize that budget towards starting a new hobby. Instead of having to purchase a new refrigerator, you can use that budget to take a trip or vacation. Repairing your plumbing budget can turn into donating towards your favorite non-profit or organization in need. The possibilities are endless when you have the opportunity to start doing more by taking advantage of apartment living with Tonsmeire Properties communities.

Overall, apartment living can benefit you in more ways than one. We believe apartment living is true community living. In our Tonsmeire Properties communities, our mission is to provide our residents with a top-tier experience of community living year after year.
