Maintenance Notes🔧
🛠️ SERVICE REQUESTS
As a resident, you may see our maintenance team around the property or stop by the office to discuss needed repairs. However, all work must be reported through the Service Request line or the Resident Portal first. This ensures a formal request is created and routed to the Maintenance Department so repairs can be handled promptly. We want to make sure your needs don’t get lost in the shuffle!
👉 Contact the Service Request Line at 866-993-5495 or use the Resident Portal and we’ll take care of the rest efficiently.
Need a new key? Please submit your request via the Service Request line or the Resident Portal. Once your key(s) are ready, you’ll receive a call. A leaseholder must bring a check or money order to pick them up. Prices are as follows:
🔑 Building Key: $20 each

📬 Mailbox Key: $5 each
🗑️ TRASH REMINDERS
We need your help to keep the community looking its best! Every day, our Maintenance Staff walks the property picking up litter—but we can’t do it alone. Please do your part by:
• Placing trash in the proper receptacles around the property
• Tying trash bags securely before throwing them in the dumpster
• Always placing trash inside the dumpster and closing the top or side door
🐾 Critters love a free meal—so let’s keep lids shut and trash contained!
Together, we can keep our community clean, safe, and beautiful.
Seasonal Tips
Summer Hosting in a Snap: Stylish Entertaining in Small Spaces ☀️🍹
You don’t need a backyard or a giant dining table to throw an amazing summer get-together—just a little creativity, cozy vibes, and thoughtful planning. Whether you're hosting a few friends for drinks or planning a laid-back dinner party in your apartment or townhome, summer entertaining can be simple, stylish, and totally doable.
Keep the Menu Simple (and Seasonal) 🍓🥗
Focus on easy, make-ahead dishes that showcase summer flavors. Think fruit skewers, Caprese salad, or a chilled pasta bowl. Set up a DIY taco or bruschetta bar to keep guests engaged and everything serve-yourself-friendly. Big-batch drinks like sangria, lemonade, or fruit-infused water look great in pitchers and make refills effortless.
Style Smart with What You Have 🪴✨
No need to buy new décor—get creative with your existing items. A cutting board doubles as a rustic serving tray, mason jars become casual drinkware, and a few aromatics or a small houseplant make a charming centerpiece. Use cloth napkins, a colorful table runner, or even fresh lemons and limes as décor for an instant summer vibe.
Create Zones to Maximize Flow 🧺🥂
Even in a smaller space, defining areas makes hosting easier and more comfortable. Set up one spot for food, another for drinks, and a cozy corner for chatting. Add floor pillows or a folded blanket for bonus seating. If you have a balcony or patio, treat it like an outdoor lounge with string lights or a few lanterns to make it extra inviting.
Think Vertical 📐🌿
Short on surfaces? Go vertical! Use tiered trays, bar carts, or wall shelves to save space and elevate presentation. Hanging a few lightweight decorations or stringing bunting adds a festive feel without cluttering your space.
Add a Signature Element 💡🎶
One standout detail is all you need to make your gathering feel special. This could be a custom playlist, a make-your-own cocktail station, or even a printed menu or name cards. Small touches go a long way in making guests feel welcome and giving the evening a personal flair.
Keep Things Comfortable 💨🧊
Summer heat can sneak up fast in smaller spaces. Open windows to let in a breeze, set out a fan near your seating area, and opt for breathable textiles. Offer cold drinks on arrival, and have a few lightweight throws handy in case the night cools off.
