Summer is heating up, and there are so many ways to keep cool and enjoy the last days of the season. Apartment residents are uniquely set up to enjoy the outdoors without overheating. Luxury apartments are specifically designed to give residents an elevated and comfortable experience each day. If you’re feeling the heat, here are 6 days to keep cool thanks to your apartment.
Swim in the resort-style pool
Luxury apartment residents enjoy the unique benefit of having a perfectly maintained, spacious, and readily available pool to utilize. These pools often come with cabanas, tanning chairs, and other amenities that make users feel like they’re on a vacation, minus all of the traveling stress. Just steps away from the unit's front door, it’s easy to take advantage of this perk every day it’s desired. During these dog days of summer, a resort-style pool is the perfect way to stay cool without having to go far from your home.
Kayaking
An amenity that few apartments can boast is private kayaks. Certain luxury apartments have access to private ponds, perfect for paddling around in the summer. Whether it’s refreshing enough to simply sit on the water and enjoy the cool breeze coming off of the water, or if you’re looking to get a little mist from the movement, kayaking is a great way to chill out in the summer. Even furry friends can get in on the action when the apartment is pet-friendly. Residents at 444 Social can get the benefits of personal watercraft without any of the storage, maintenance, or transportation hassles. Kayaking is one thing that makes all the difference in summer apartment living.
Visit nearby water parks
Some apartments are perfectly located, nestled between the best attractions in the area. If you’re lucky, some of those attractions will include waterparks. At 444 Social, Hurricane Harbor is only a short 25-minute drive away. This waterpark is home to the tallest water coaster in the world, a lazy river, and much more. Families of all ages love visiting Great America to get wet and stay cool during the warm summer months.
Relax in the shade
For those seeking a little less thrill and more chill, a simple shade tree is all they need for a relaxing summer day. Luxury apartments may prioritize resident’s experience by ensuring that there are a plethora of trees on or near the property, providing shady spots to picnic and walk. Another way to enjoy a reprieve from the sun is on a private balcony, which makes for the perfect place to curl up with a good book in the summer breeze.
Stop by the local beaches
Another important attraction luxury apartments try to be near is beaches. In Illinois, boarding Lake Michigan provides an abundance of sandy beaches to spread out on. There are also plenty of smaller lakes inland, ready to take on visitors in the hot summer sun. Whether you’re a swimmer or a sunbather, the cool lake effect helps cool down even the hottest of summer days. Beach days are often the key to creating an unforgettable summer.
Make frozen treats
Unlike homes that often feature cramped freezers with little space, luxury apartments are known for their hallmark high-end appliances. With all that leftover freezer space, residents can enjoy creating frozen treats to enjoy with friends and family. From homemade popsicles to ice cream, to smoothies, there are so many delicious goodies to enjoy.
Stay cool this summer
Avoiding the heat while still enjoying the outdoors is a delicate balance, but luxury apartments are experts at helping you walk the line. 444 Social is located just minutes away from summer fun, while also offering on-site amenities that allow residents to enjoy the weather.
