Signs It's Time to Downsize

Thinking about downsizing to an apartment? These signs can direct you if it is time to downsize to a smaller space. Check out the tips below and see if downsizing is right for you. Our West Water Elmira apartments are a perfect place for anyone to downsize.

Unused Rooms

Spare rooms and guest bedrooms are not meant to sit and collect dust. If this is the case in your home, you should consider downsizing. Unused rooms are wasting money because you are still paying electrical and gas bills to heat and cool these rooms. They also are costing money in potential maintenance of paint and furniture. Our Elmira apartments offer a variety of different layouts, perfect to suit any layout you may desire.

Feeling Overwhelmed with Maintenance

Ensuring your home is cleaned, maintained, and paid for is a large task for anyone to take on. From vacuuming a living room to gardening and mowing the lawn, the maintenance tasks within a home are endless, and can often be very time consuming. Contracting out for these tasks can also become very expensive. If you are overwhelmed with cleaning a large space, and maintaining a home, it may be time to downsize. At our Elmira apartments, all maintenance is included, and you will never need to worry about mowing a lawn ever again. Also, an apartment is much smaller to clean than a home, and having only one level to clean is much easier.
