Biking to work is a great way to get in a little exercise, enjoy the scenery, and help clean the air at the same time. Whether you do it everyday or once or twice a week, every pedal you take goes a long way toward making a big difference.

Fortunately, it’s not that hard to do. There are plenty of bike paths near our luxury apartment in San Mateo, and Caltrains has made it easy to get on their trains and go wherever you want to go with your bike.

This makes it easy to commute anywhere in the area without ever having to reach for your car keys. Of course, the biggest benefits are well-known:

  • You will never fight traffic ever again.
  • Rising cost of gas? You will hardly notice.
  • You will get some exercise and feel wonderful doing it.
  • Taking the bike/train combo? It’s extra time to read, do some work, or just relax.

Plus, you will  be helping to keep a tremendous amount of pollution from clouding up our sunny California skies.

To learn more about our bike maintenance workshop and storage areas, contact us and we will be glad to answer your questions.

Get Through San Francisco International Airport Even Quicker

October 23rd, 2013

Flying used to be fun. Now, it’s about as enjoyable as making a trip to the dentist. Fortunately, the folks at TSA and San Francisco International Airport are trying to make flying a little bit easier and a lot less stressful this season.

By signing up for TSA pre-check, you can avoid the long lines and stressful checks that come with flying these days. The program is entirely voluntary, and if you are a frequent traveler, it is worth taking the time to enroll.

This is part of several initiatives that TSA is implementing to make traveling easier. In conjunction with the Customs and Border patrol, local police agencies, and many other entities, these efforts will keep our skies friendly because the passengers will be a little bit happier.

Be sure to read through the FAQs before enrolling so that you can make sure to sail through the process without any turbulence.

For more information about the 888 San Mateo apartment community and the many reasons our residents enjoy living here, contact us today and we will be happy to show you around our neighborhood.
