We have all been there. Packing up laundry to schlep it to the nearest laundromat only to realize you forgot your quarters for the washing machines. If only your apartment had a washer or dryer. Not to worry! Take a look at the Garden Communities properties that have the absolute luxury of having a washer and dryer in each apartment. This feature, one of the most sought-after features by potential renters, offers the ultimate in laundry convenience.  

2. Modern Kitchen Appliances 

The kitchen is the heart of the home, so the allure of a contemporary kitchen cannot be overstated for today’s renter. Equipped with the latest in culinary technology, Garden Communities apartments feature top-of-the-line appliances, ample storage space (pantries in some locations), soft closing kitchen cabinets and drawers (like those at The Frederick), and an overall clean and inviting feeling to dive straight into those cookbooks you have been ignoring. 

3. Closet and Storage Space 

For most renters, the luxury of spacious closets is a game-changer in apartment living. These generous storage areas allow for easy organization and clutter-free living, accommodating everything from extensive wardrobes to bulky seasonal gear. Our apartments are designed with the understanding that having closet and storage space is not just a convenience, but a necessity for good mental health as well!  

4. High-Speed Internet and Cable Ready 

In an era where connectivity is key, access to high-speed internet and cable readiness is a critical amenity for apartment residents. This ensures that whether it is for remote work, academic pursuits, entertainment, or staying in touch with loved ones, our residents are well-equipped with the necessary services.  

5. Energy Efficient Features 

Embracing a green lifestyle is crucial for many of our residents, which is why energy-efficient features are integral to our apartments at Garden Communities. Our commitment to sustainability is evident in the eco-friendly attributes we offer, such as advanced window treatments for better insulation, high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, and water-saving fixtures. These initiatives not only contribute to a healthier planet, but also afford our renters significant savings on their energy costs.  

The Top 5 Community Amenities 

Community amenities extend the comfort and luxury of Garden Communities apartments beyond the confines of personal living spaces, offering shared facilities that enhance everyday life. These amenities are thoughtfully designed communal spaces and services that cater to the leisure, fitness, and social needs of our residents. 

1. Fitness Center 

What is more important than your health? And for those that struggle to get motivated to pack a gym bag and drive to the local gym, a state-of-the-art fitness center ranks high on the list of must-haves. The convenience and cost savings of having access to a fully equipped gym within the community encourages a healthy, active lifestyle. Speaking of health, did we mention Garden Communities also has smoke-free properties? 

2. Pet-Friendly Policies 

Understanding the deep bond between people and their pets, Garden Communities has established welcoming pet-friendly policies to accommodate our animal-loving residents. We acknowledge that pets are integral members of many households, contributing to the joy and comfort of home life. To further cater to our furry friends, we have also integrated thoughtful amenities, such as dedicated areas for pets to play and socialize. The Jefferson even offers a dog washing area to make bath time that much easier.  

3. Ample Parking 

When on the search for the perfect apartment, often the question “Where would I be parking my car every day?” comes up. If you are a NJ resident, you know a car is a necessity, and Garden Communities has prioritized this need by offering everything from designated spots, covered parking, secure garages, and even EV charging stations at some communities.  

4. Security and Safety Features 

The well-being of our residents is of the utmost importance. Technology like smart door locks gives residents complete control over who can access their home, a 24/7 feed of activity at each residence, and auto-lock doors; wondering if you locked your front door is a thing of the past.  Additionally, the presence of diligent, on-site maintenance staff ready to respond to any security or maintenance concerns further enhances the sense of well-being within our communities.  

5. Outdoor Spaces 

After a long day at work, is there anything better than being able to kick back in your own little outdoor oasis to decompress, or to take a dip in your community’s swimming pool? Current residents love having the opportunity to relax in an outdoor space of their own. These areas, ranging from serene patios to balcony spaces, offer private areas for relaxation or a space for socializing and enjoying nature.
