Entertainment around Alta Alameda Station

Known as the Mile High City, Denver is home to numerous historic and educational establishments for adults and children alike to enjoy. Whether you have an interest in history or are looking for ways to encourage your children to play, grow, and learn, there is local entertainment around Alta Alameda Station that is sure to pique your interest and inspire your imagination.

Molly Brown House Museum
The Molly Brown House Museum is located in what was once the Denver home of Margaret Brown, a turn-of-the-century philanthropist and activist. Brown survived the 1912 sinking of the RMS Titanic, earning her the nickname the “Unsinkable” Molly Brown. The home was turned into a boarding house during the Great Depression, but was sold after Brown’s death and eventually fell into ruin until 1970, when the citizen group Historic Denver, Inc. purchased and restored the house. Today, the house is one of the most visited historic sites in the entire state of Colorado. The Molly Brown House Museum features a historic journey through the life of Margaret Brown, aiming to inspire visitors to find their own courage and take responsibility for encouraging positive social changes.

The Children’s Museum of Denver
Located in the Central Platte Valley, The Children’s Museum of Denver features educational and inspirational exhibits for children from birth through age eight. Throughout the museum, your child will explore exhibits designed to promote hands-on learning, sensory awareness, motor development, language development, cognitive development, and social-emotional growth. The Museum’s Center for the Young Child focuses exclusively on newborns through four year-olds, teaching very young children about the tasks of daily life while promoting linguistic development and problem-solving abilities. Other exhibits include The Assembly Plant, where children build unique creations from donated recycled goods, and Fire Station No. 1, which features a real fire truck donated by the Denver Fire Department. The Children’s Museum of Denver also hosts daily educational events and collaborative special events with other local museums and organizations, such as the Butterfly Pavilion and Denver Botanic Gardens. Target Tuesday Nights offer families the chance to play free from 4-8pm on the first Tuesday of every month.

Downtown Aquarium
Denver’s Downtown Aquarium sits next to the South Platte River. This 107,000-square foot aquarium brings a taste of both freshwater and marine life to a landlocked state. As you make your way through the exhibits, you’ll follow the courses of the United States’ Colorado River and Indonesia’s Kampar River as they flow toward the sea. Some of the Downtown Aquarium’s exhibits include Under the Sea, The Rainforest, Sunken Temple, North America, and Shipwreck. In addition to its aquatic exhibits, the Downtown Aquarium is also home to Sumatran tigers and a live mermaid show.

Decorating Your Apartment

Apartment living is convenient, easy, and often the most cost-effective way to enjoy amenities that aren’t available in a single-family home. Decorating your apartment helps create a functional space with a personality that matches yours to inspire your creativity and promote relaxation away from your everyday cares. Keep reading to discover a few unique and easy ideas for decorating your luxury apartment in Denver.

Paint
Painting is one of the simplest yet most dramatic ways to give your apartment a complete makeover. While it’s often easiest to paint when you first move into a space, you can choose to paint your walls at any time for an instant facelift. Even if you’re not interested in large-scale painting, painting a single accent wall can make a big difference in the look and feel of any room. If you’re not allowed to paint your apartment walls, painting your furniture is another way to create more personality with your apartment’s décor.

Area Rugs
Area rugs add color and style to any room. A rug can also protect your apartment’s floors from everyday wear. Rugs are extremely versatile and fit into any room in your home—they lend warmth to tile or hardwood and contrast to carpeted floors. You can use an area rug as the focal point in any room or choose a more subdued floor covering for convenience and comfort rather than style. Choose a rug with color elements in similar tones to your walls, furniture, and linen, which will pull the entire room together and create a sense of completion.

Divide Your Space
If your apartment features one large room for dining and living, use your décor to divide this room into distinct functional spaces. Choose a different color theme for your living area versus your dining area. You can use rugs, lighting, and paint to differentiate the spaces while maintaining an open feel to your apartment. Artwork, bookcases, and folding screens are other excellent tools that can create separate spaces without causing them to feel closed in. While you should keep some design elements between these spaces the same to create flow, don’t be afraid to mix and match furniture styles and colors for a more eclectic feel.

Hang Artwork
Bare walls look impersonal and can even zap your mental energy, influencing your comfort level in your own home. Don’t be afraid to hang artwork to liven up your apartment and imbue the walls with your own personal style and taste. The right piece of art can act as a central point around which to design the décor of the surrounding room. Long hallways and narrow rooms can be lined with multiple framed pieces to take advantage of the walls rather than allowing the shape of the room to overwhelm your impression of the space. Consider having personal photos professionally printed, matted, and framed to create fine art out of your own life experiences.

Are you ready to create your own personal space in the heart of Denver? Alta Alameda Station is now pre-leasing luxury one-, two- and three-bedroom Baker apartments featuring top-notch amenities. Check us out on the web to view our apartment floor plans or contact us to submit an application or schedule a tour of our new apartment community.

Benefits of Living in an Apartment

Apartment life offers opportunities and amenities that can’t be matched by single-home living. When you rent an apartment in Broomfield, you can enjoy maintenance-free living that allows you to concentrate on more important aspects of your life. Choosing an apartment over a home can offer monetary savings as well as lower stress and help you establish a close-knit community of friends.

Close Community
Living in an apartment community creates a sense of togetherness that cannot be mimicked in a single-home neighborhood. You are much more likely to encounter and interact with your neighbors on a daily basis when you live in an apartment, offering unique social experiences that many residents enjoy. Apartment complexes often host social events that set the stage for meeting new people and creating lasting friendships. Living in an apartment complex can also provide an added sense of security in knowing that you have multiple neighbors close at hand if you were to need assistance with any task or situation.

Ideal Short-Term Option
Purchasing a home is a significant long-term investment that you may not be ready to make, especially when you are new to an area. Apartment living offers an ideal short-term alternative that also holds long-term benefits if you choose to stay. Living in an apartment can be the ideal way to discover your neighborhood—and your neighbors—to find the perfect long-term investment opportunity. You can rent an apartment for as much or as little time as you need, taking your time to search out the home of your dreams rather than feeling rushed into such a big decision. Alternatively, if you know you will only be living in a certain area for a limited time, apartment living is also the ideal option to provide you with a comfortable, luxurious, but short-term home. You won’t need to worry about purchasing and then selling a house; when it’s time to move on, you need only to turn in your keys.

Professional Management and Maintenance
If the idea of managing—and maintaining—your own home sounds frightening, then you will benefit from apartment living over purchasing a home. Apartments are professionally managed and maintained for your comfort, convenience, and safety. You are not responsible for major upkeep of your home or yard. If an appliance breaks or you need professional assistance, help is a single call away. There are no added fees for maintenance, even after-hours, because these considerations are already covered by your monthly rent. Renting an apartment can save you both money and time that are better spent pursuing your career or other interests. When you choose to rent an apartment, all you need to do is enjoy your home without worrying about handling the less glamorous aspects of maintaining a luxurious living space.

Alta Harvest Station offers one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments in our luxuriously-appointed Broomfield apartment complex. Our amenities include granite countertops, walk-in closets, oversized garden tubs, all in a location that can’t be beat. Contact us online to schedule a tour or click through our website to view more information about our availability.

The Importance of Pre-Leasing

Pre-leasing allows you to sign a lease agreement before construction is completed on your intended living space or prior to the existing tenant vacating your apartment. For an initial deposit, you can lock in your living space well in advance of your move-in date. For a student searching for the perfect luxury apartment, pre-leasing offers many benefits. Keep reading to discover why you should consider pre-leasing your next luxury apartment at BLVD63, which will be opening in Summer 2014.

Ensures a Lease
It’s inevitable that the hottest, most desirable locations will be leased out first. High-class luxury apartments and buildings close to San Diego State are extremely popular among the student population, and accordingly can be extremely difficult to lease once they are full. The best way to ensure you get the luxury apartment you want in the location you desire is to sign a pre-lease for your future home. Your pre-lease and deposit guarantee you’ll have the perfect apartment space on moving day without worrying about being put on an endless wait list.

Reduces Stress
Pre-leasing is an excellent way to reduce stress in your already stressful student life. Searching for an apartment can be a time-consuming task, and it can be disheartening to hear that there is no space available once you’ve found your dream home. Whether you are just moving to town to begin your college education or looking for a new space to complement your student lifestyle, the last thing you need on your mind is worry about where you will live. Signing a pre-lease takes all the stress and worry over a living space completely off the table. You will know where you’re going to live, when you can move in, and what rent you will be expected to pay. Your commute to class or work can be planned out in advance so you’ll know exactly how to plan your mornings and evenings to maximize your precious time once the school year starts.

Increases Your Amenities
When you begin looking for an apartment well in advance of the date you’ll need to move, the world is your oyster. With time on your side, you can afford to search until you discover the ideal apartment location with exactly the luxury amenities you desire. Beginning your search for an apartment early means that more of the most desirable apartments with the options you want will be available. Once you’ve found your prize, signing a pre-lease will ensure it doesn’t slip through your fingers. In many cases, pre-leasing also offers rental benefits; your landlord may put your initial deposit toward your first months’ rent, waive your initial rent installments, or sign you at a reduced rental rate in return for your pre-lease arrangements.
