Welcome to your new apartment! The excitement of living somewhere new and comfy an all thanks to your smart phone that probably helped you find it.You sent pictures to your friends and family and bragged about it on social media. On the day you moved in, you used your phone to find that nearby coffee shops, the nearest grocery store to stock the empty refrigerator, and the utility companies so you can get your cable installed. That analog world is long gone, baby!

From the search, to the packing, to the lugging; moving is daunting. Luckily that next phase, settling in, is much more fun. Once again, your smart phone can deliver a few great apps to turn your apartment into your domain.

‘Tis the fourth annual Milestone Giving event. Santa made his list and checked it twice and then drove his sleigh to Covington Square Apartments in Aloha and Somerset West Apartments in Tanasbourn, and to Sawyer Pointe Apartments in Scappoose to spread some Christmas cheer to a few families who needed a more spirit this holiday season. We put the word out to all of our managers and residents. We wanted to know who was experiencing hard times. Last year we helped six families. This year, our outreach extended to 8 households in Scappoose, Gresham, Portland, Aloha and Tanasbourn. We are lucky to have truly good, residents. As we head into 2020 Let’s remember, whether you are a resident, client, employee, friend or relative, we are in the community business. A community is strong when its bonds are strong. Let us not forget this when it is not the holiday season.  We are committed to always improving our communities. This starts with caring, loving our neighbors, and building relationships. .
