Homelessness and Safety Advisory
As with every summer, we are seeing an increase in homelessness along the coastal trail, where some individuals are camping out and starting fires. Please refrain from engaging with these individuals, as they may pose a risk to your safety.
Over the past few weeks, I have collected several makeshift campsites, and it appears that there have been break-ins in downtown, with items such as books, DVDs, and clothing taken—though nothing of significant value. To date, there have been no break-ins reported at our properties.
However, we encourage everyone to stay vigilant: lock your cars and homes, and be attentive to your surroundings. If you notice someone acting suspiciously or out of place, do not hesitate to contact 911.
Your safety is our top priority. Thank you for staying alert and cautious.
Future Utility Cost Sharing
We are excited to announce our plans to implement submetering for utility costs in the near future. This initiative will allow for a fair and transparent sharing of heating expenses between us and our tenants. By accurately measuring each unit's usage, we aim to provide a more equitable approach to heating costs, aligning payments with actual consumption. This change will help promote energy efficiency and encourage mindful usage among residents. Stay tuned for more updates!
We truly value your feedback! Your experiences matter to us, and online reviews are a fantastic way for you to share your happy apartment experience with others. Thank you for helping us build a community of satisfied residents!

- Additional Living Expenses: If your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss, this coverage helps with temporary living costs.

Upcoming Utility Submetering Initiative
We are excited to announce our plans to implement submetering for utility costs for Apartments in the near future. This initiative aims to create a fair and transparent method for sharing heating expenses between the management and our valued tenants. Below are the key details regarding how the submetering process will work and how we will split the costs with tenants:
What is Submetering? Submetering involves installing individual meters for each apartment unit to accurately monitor and record the amount of heating energy consumed by each resident. This technology allows us to track energy usage on a per-unit basis rather than relying on a flat rate or estimation for all tenants.
Next Steps:
We will keep you informed throughout the installation process and provide additional information on when the submetering will be implemented. As we finalize our approach, we will hold an informational session to address any questions or concerns about this change.
