That’s why when it comes to apartment hunting, amenities are everything. Here is a list of must-have amenities to look for (spoiler alert: our properties have all of these!) 

1. Recreation Area 

A recreation spot is a true must-have when it comes to apartment living. Fitness rooms and gyms on-site add an extra layer of convenience to your daily schedule and overall lifestyle. If you’re lucky enough to live in an apartment complex with a pool, like Xander on State, then you can exercise and enjoy those sunny days all at once. Learn more about Xander on State here. 

2. Community Space 

Getting to know your neighbors is one of the best parts of living in an apartment community. That’s why having meeting spaces such as club rooms, media rooms, rooftop decks, outdoor spaces, etc. is such an important amenity. All of our properties feature community spaces, perfect to bring friends to or meet new ones! 

3. Pet-Friendly 

At Borror, we understand that pets are family, and finding an apartment suited to your needs and theirs can be difficult. That’s why all of our properties are pet-friendly and open to all dogs and cats. 

4. Parking Access 

Access to parking is an essential aspect of one’s home. Being able to store your vehicle in a safe, secure space that is off-street and covered is truly a must-have amenity. Our properties feature covered, secure, garage parking for all residents. 

5. On-site Maintenance 

Accidents and general wear and tear happen: it’s inevitable. That’s why having easy access to maintenance is so important. Whether there is a leak, power outage, or any other issue, a maintenance team that can reliably solve the issue promptly is key to apartment living. Borror Properties is proud to offer on-site maintenance for all of our properties that is dedicated to solving any problems that may arise. 

6. In-unit Laundry 

Laundromats can be a hassle and time-consuming and even communal laundry rooms on-site can be time-consuming. Having laundry in your apartment is convenience at your fingertips and can be that extra amenity you need to commit to your next apartment. In-unit laundry? Yes, we have that too.
