Ask an Expert: What About Grills and Apartment Living?

Grills and Apartments

It’s that time of year!   We are all thinking about getting outside and enjoying the warm weather.

One of my favorite things is grilling dinner outside on the grill.  Always put safety first whenever you are going to cook outside.

Here are some important things for our residents to remember when grilling at their apartment.

First, no grills, cookers or fryers are allowed on any decks, balconies or patios at any Red Oak Properties.

You may grill as long as you are at least 15 feet away from your building, except at properties like Sunset Ridge and Milford Trails that have designated grilling areas.

Important Safety Tips to Remember:

  • Place your grill at least 15 feet from any building.
  • Grill only on a flat  surface that can’t catch fire.
  • Never use gasoline, alcohol or kerosene to start your fire.
  • Don’t add lighter fluid  once your coals are on fire.
  • Make sure all hose  connections are tight and in good condition.

Once you have finished grilling:

  • Soak the coals with water.
  • Close the grill lid and  any vents on the grill tightly.

Enjoy the summer and happy picnicking!

Ron The Expert Talks About Living with Pets in Your Apartment!

Ask an Expert:  Apartment Living tips for Dog Owners!

From Ron Dupont, President, Red Oak Apartment Homes, Inc.

Your dog is part of your family and you want to make sure your apartment is going to be a good fit for him.  Here are a few things to think about when living with your dog in an apartment.

If you live in an apartment that has a city setting you will want to socialize your pup for the sights and sounds of the city.  Take him to busy street corners and to common areas in your building so that he can learn about these spots slowly.  If your building has elevators take him in and out during slow times of the day to get him used to it.  This will show him that elevators are all normal parts of life.

A pet friendly property will have other pet owners living there.  Dog owners always seem to find each other so get ready to introduce yourself.  You can form a group of owners who like to go on outings with their dogs.  They will be a great resource to you with knowledge about local parks, veterinarians or pet sitters they trust.  Your dog will stay mentally sharp with all this interaction with other dogs.  Introducing new toys to your dog also keeps them alert.  If your dog loves to sniff everything in sight, leave some new scents on items in your apartment such as lavender on his bed or a clean cloth that has been rubbed on a neighbor’s pet.

While small dogs are believed to be better suited to city living, big dogs can be calmer indoors.  The key is to exercise all size dogs.  Keep your pup on a leash at all times to keep him safe.

Red Oak Apartment Homes has several locations that welcome your dogs.  We accept dogs that are less than 25 pounds at our Sunset Ridge location in Manchester and dogs that are up to 100 pounds at our Milford Trails and Eastern Trails locations in Milford. We do have a pet fee and regulations about certain breed restrictions.  Both of these properties have great areas for walking your dog and meeting other dog owners.  We even have a dog park at our Milford Trails property.

Call Red Oak Apartment Homes to get started looking for your pet friendly home.  Call:  603-668-8282.

Apartment Hunting Tips: Location, Location, Location!!

When looking for an apartment home the location is often one of the most important things that really matters to you.

(After the price, of course)

Choosing the Location for YOU

Choosing a great location can be very different for each individual.

If you have a growing family proximity to parks, schools and recreational activities will be important to you. Perhaps a more suburban location is what you desire.

Do you hate a long commute to work every day? If so, then choose a place to live that is close to work or very convenient to major roadways. You might even consider living in a location that will allow you to be traveling in the opposite direction of rush hour traffic in the morning and evening.

Are you interested in living in the heart of the city? Walking to work, restaurants, shops and entertainment is easy when you choose an urban location. Sometimes parking can be more challenging in the city, so be sure to ask about the parking that is available where you are looking to rent.

Apartments in that Perfect Neighborhood

Red Oak can help you find the location that will be a perfect fit for you when you make a move. We have apartments and condos in 7 NH towns and cities.
From Urban to Suburban, Luxury to Affordable and everything in between, we have what you need. Give us a call at 603-668-8282 to get started.
