If you’re a fitness buff, you will be happy to learn that our luxury apartments in San Mateo feature a state-of-the-art fitness center with cardio theater. However, that alone does not guarantee you’ll stay in shape.

It is not just about good facilities and convenience; you have to stick to your fitness goals, and for most of us, that’s easier said than done. First of all, you need to make exercise a part of your daily routine. No excuses; a 30-minute workout takes up just five percent of your day.

Your goals are also an important aspect to consider; they need to be realistic, or you will end up disappointed and demoralized. To make sure you are not setting the bar too high, you could hire a personal trainer or at least find a workout buddy.

Having good company around also means you’ll get to have fun and socialize, which translates into more motivation to keep up with exercise schedule. Also, don’t stop working out just because you’re away for business or out of town. Try to work it into your schedule no matter where you are.

Clean and Tidy: Smart Tips for Organizing Kitchen Cabinets

November 7th, 2013

What’s the use of having a sleek modern kitchen in your luxury apartment in San Mateo if you’re not going to keep it tidy and organized?

Having espresso, flat-panel cabinetry with European hardware, and nice decor doesn’t mean much if your kitchen isn’t well-organized.

The first and most obvious step is taking everything out of your cabinets and giving them a good scrub. Then you should review all of the stuff you took out and get rid of anything you don’t use, either by recycling it or donating it to charity.

Then make room for priorities; put everything you don’t use often at the back and make sure you can easily reach everything you need on a daily basis.

Now you can deal with the more enjoyable task of sorting out decor and taking care of aesthetics. Neatly arranged herbs and spices always look good, as do glasses.

You can also display a few cookbooks and various decorative items. It all depends on the look you’re going for, and it’s all a matter of taste.

If you don’t have a cool new kitchen to organize, maybe you should be planning for your new one at our apartment community? Contact us for more information about our luxury apartments in San Mateo.

Saving Water at San Mateo’s New Eco-Friendly Apartments

November 5th, 2013

One of the hallmarks of living in the Bay Area is a commitment to ecology and the environment.

With this in mind, our eco-friendly apartments in San Mateo want to make that commitment as easy as possible to keep.

Low-flow fixtures, for example, help keep water usage in check. Here are a few ideas to help you do your part:

  • Report leaks and drips for repair – A dripping faucet is a huge waste. Our maintenance team will be happy to take care of it for you.
  • Take 5-minute showers instead of baths – A full tub is about 70 gallons of water.
  • Re-use your towels – Instead of throwing them into the laundry, hang them up to dry. You will save a lot of work, as well as water.
  • Wash your fruits and vegetables in a pan of water instead of under a running faucet.
  • Monitor your water bill to control use – You will catch bad habits that way.
  • Collect the water from the shower – The cold water you run can be used to water the plants.
