Drawers 

Drawers are a must-have for every apartment. While they’re essential for storing clothes, they’re also incredibly useful in spaces like bathrooms and closets to keep supplies tidy and uncluttered. If your apartment lacks shelving or closets in the bathroom, drawers are perfect for organizing towels, cleaning supplies, and more. Similarly, drawers in closets and bedrooms can help keep smaller items neatly sorted. 

Kitchen Island Cart 

The kitchen is often the space that gets cluttered the quickest, and a small kitchen can feel cramped fast. A lack of counter and cabinet space can be challenging—even for those who don’t cook often. A kitchen island cart offers extra storage for kitchen supplies while adding valuable counter space. Plus, since it’s on wheels, the cart can be easily moved around or tucked away when not in use. 

Shoe Shelves 

Let’s be honest, even in the largest of homes, shoes can easily become a scattered mess or pile up into a mountain if not properly stored. Instead of kicking your shoes off at the door, invest in shoe shelves or a shoe rack. Place them by your apartment entrance or inside your closet to keep things neat and tidy. 

Hidden Storage Options

Multifunctional furniture with hidden storage options can be a game-changer. Look for sofas with built-in storage, coffee tables with hidden compartments, or under-the-bed storage cubes. These pieces help keep clutter out of sight while maintaining an organized living space. 

Small doesn’t have to mean cluttered! At 985 High, we offer spacious apartments with plenty of closet space, plus many amenities and the vibrancy of downtown living.

Why should you consider renting? 

Lower costs 

Financial circumstances are the most common reason to choose to rent over buying a home. Renting can be less expensive than buying a home for many reasons. While renters do have to generally pay a security deposit equal to one month’s rent, they do not have to make a much more exorbitant down payment – usually around 20% of the home’s value. In addition to this, renter’s insurance and utility costs also tend to be much cheaper than those of homeowners. 

Maintenance free living 

Another significant advantage to renting is the lack of maintenance fees and repair costs. As a renter, your landlord or property owner assumes full responsibility for all repairs, maintenance, and renovation costs. This means that when a repair or improvement is needed, one can call their landlord or owner to take care of it. At Borror Properties, we offer on-site maintenance to help our tenants with any needed repairs.  

Amenities 

Amenities are a huge bonus when it comes to renting. Whether it’s a 24-hour fitness gym, rooftop deck, or a glistening pool, these amenities tend to be included in the price of rent and are accessible to all renters. Homeowners must spend hefty prices on installing private gyms or pools to have these amenities. 

Flexible living 

Renters can live and move anywhere they’d like, and as often as they want. Renting is much cheaper in cities and highly populated areas, which makes living in New York City or Los Angeles or Columbus much easier to manage. Renters are also more flexible in the size of their property. The upscaling or downsizing processes are much simpler for renters than homeowners.
