										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you thinking of ways to liven up your apartment balcony? Don’t worry about that small space! There are still a lot of things you can do to make sure you are putting it to good use. Here are some tips&#8230;</p>
<h3>A Mini Garden</h3>
<p>Taking care of houseplants can be therapeutic and can help contribute to our overall wellness. Plus, they give us as a brief escape from our busy lives. Whether you are working at home or in the office, taking care of plants allows you to take a moment and recharge with nature.</p>
<p>You can also plant herbs that you can use in your own meals. Start with small pots with holes at the bottom, fill them with soil, and plant your chosen herbs.</p>
<p>If you think you don’t have enough space, go for hanging pots! Not only are they space savers, they can also add some color to your décor. However, before you get excited with all the planting, you have to make sure this doesn’t violate any of your apartment policies.</p>
<h3>A Reading Zone</h3>
<p>Having a quiet reading nook is the perfect place for a quick getaway from all your daily activities. And it’s very simple to assemble. Just get your comfy chair, fluffy cushions, and your favorite blanket.</p>
<p>Don’t forget to add your personal touch, like a stack of your favorite magazines or some scented candles, to make it feel more homey. This setup is ideal especially if your apartment balcony is facing away from major roads.</p>
<h3>A Tea Place</h3>
<p>There’s nothing like a nice view while enjoying a cup of tea with friends, right? Your apartment balcony could  be the perfect place to have your own tea room and invite guests over. Take out some comfy chairs, some pillows, a small table, and call your friends over.</p>
<p>And don’t forget to serve your favorite cup of tea and other refreshments! Arrange your plants around the space to have a little tea party or maybe small work meetings.</p>
<h3>A Cozy Nap Area</h3>
<p>If you love taking naps in the afternoon, then you’re going to love napping on your balcony. You can either install a hammock or place some cushions and blanket at the floor. You can also hang some fairy lights for a cozy feel and make it a perfect place for stargazing! Lastly, take out your rug and put lots of comfy pillows to start a great nap.</p>
<h3>An Outdoor Barbeque</h3>
<p>Barbeque weekends are not just for people with backyards, you can also do it on your apartment balcony! Start by getting some barbeque grills that you can attach to your balcony railing and invite your friends over for barbeque weekends! Of course, like the mini garden idea, make sure this doesn’t violate any of your apartment policies.</p>
<h3>A Personal Place</h3>
<p>Your apartment balcony can also be a private personal space just for you to enjoy. Use it to stretch in the morning, or for afternoon yoga. Make it look magical by adding candles to small glass jars, and watch as they light up your small space. Add your favorite scented candles, and get a glass of wine or beer.</p>
<p>After a long and tiring day, you deserve to just chill and relax in your own cozy place. And whatever you decide to do with it, as long as it has your personal touch, it will surely improve your overall lifestyle and create lasting memories.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Work is over and you are ready to unwind, but not at home. While you could relax in your spacious Pewaukee apartment, watch your favorite show and order take out. There really is no better way to loosen up and enjoy time with friends than going to happy hour.</p>
<p>Luckily, living at either our Hidden Ponds or Foxtail Meadows communities brings you an abundance of locations to wet your whistle. Whether you want a fancy cocktail or something more casual, there is definitely something for every taste!</p>
<p>Let the drinks and good times flow at any these happy hour recommendations in Pewaukee.</p>
<h4 class="qrShPb kno-ecr-pt PZPZlf mfMhoc PPT5v hNKfZe" data-dtype="d3ifr" data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwjm49T83N7yAhUcElkFHbnZBfwQ3B0oAXoECA8QAg">Curly&#8217;s Waterfront Sports Bar &amp; Grill | Happy Hour Monday-Friday 3-6pm</h4>
<p>There&#8217;s nothing like a good drink with an amazing view! Stop by Curly&#8217;s Waterfront Sports Bar &amp; Grill to take in the beauty of Pewaukee on their wrap around deck. Can&#8217;t make it for happy hour? Curly&#8217;s is packed with amazing opportunities to have fun with family and friends. Between live music, bar games, and delicious food specials, there&#8217;s never a bad time to visit.</p>
<h4 class="qrShPb kno-ecr-pt PZPZlf mfMhoc PPT5v hNKfZe" data-dtype="d3ifr" data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwjm49T83N7yAhUcElkFHbnZBfwQ3B0oAXoECA8QAg">Thunder Bay Grille | Happy Hour Monday-Friday 3-6pm</h4>
<p>Rose Sangria? Bourbon Smash? Some yummy cocktail with tasty rum and fruit puree? No matter your flavor or vibe, this place has your back. Specializing in hand crafted cocktails, local beer, and an incredible selection of wine, it can become a favorite spot after just your first visit. Thunder Bay is the perfect place for a nice meet-up with friends or for a professional dinner. If you visit on a Monday, you&#8217;ll also be able to take advantage of their half price wine bottles. Monday&#8217;s don&#8217;t have to be dreadful anymore! Thanks, Thunder Bay Grille!</p>
<h4 class="qrShPb kno-ecr-pt PZPZlf mfMhoc PPT5v hNKfZe" data-dtype="d3ifr" data-local-attribute="d3bn" data-attrid="title" data-ved="2ahUKEwjm49T83N7yAhUcElkFHbnZBfwQ3B0oAXoECA8QAg">Sunset Grill &#8211; Pewaukee Lake | Daily Specials</h4>
<p>Day drinkers and night drinkers unite, in this recently updated hangout. Come by car or boat and you&#8217;ll be greeted by friendly staff ready to serve. Our Pewaukee apartment homes are comfy, but slipping away to the lake side and enjoying mouth watering deals all week long is an added perk to our locations. The drink menu is full of hometown favorites you&#8217;ll be sure to love, plus yummy breakfast cocktails served up every Saturday and Sunday between 8-11am.</p>
<h5>After all this, if you&#8217;d prefer to keep happy hour just in your apartment at Hidden Ponds or Foxtail Meadows with their stunning views and convenient locations, we couldn&#8217;t blame you. Cheers!</h5>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 500;">Living in an apartment can be challenging for all sorts of reasons, especially when you’re hoping to achieve an organized place to show off. Whether you&#8217;ve just moved into your new <a href="https://www.morgenson.com/apartments/menomonee-falls-wi/">Menomonee Falls apartment</a> or you&#8217;re planning your move, there are tips to staying tidy you might want to consider.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 500;">Convenience is the number one reason people choose to live in apartments. However, renting doesn&#8217;t always provide the customization one may find in a home. Homeowners are able to store their belongings in more areas like garages or basements, for instance. Most residents of <a href="https://www.morgenson.com/apartments/menomonee-falls-wi/apple-valley/">Apple Valley</a>, <a href="https://www.morgenson.com/apartments/menomonee-falls-wi/appleton-place/">Appleton Place</a>, and <a href="https://www.morgenson.com/apartments/menomonee-falls-wi/cameron-heights/">Cameron Heights Apartments</a> are happy to leave the home-buying for their later years however, and enjoy the convenience of apartment living for now.</p>
<h5>By taking some of the steps listed here, you could find yourself a very happy apartment-dweller without a mess to be found! Here are 3 tips for keeping your apartment continually organized.</h5>
<h4 style="font-weight: 500;"><strong>1. Quality Over Quantity</strong></h4>
<p style="font-weight: 500;">Think &#8211; less is more. Invest in furniture and storage items that offer the most use and will last for years to come. These nicer elements will encourage you to tidy up more consistently too. IKEA is the perfect place to visit for all your apartment decorating needs. They offer unique, cost-effective ways to organize your home and we luckily have a local store in Oak Creek. Look for shelves, storage bins, and closet organizers. Spend time in the kitchen section where you can find cabinet and drawer coordinators. Make a day of it and stop for a yummy snack like Swedish meatballs in IKEA&#8217;s cafeteria area. If this is your first or fifth apartment, an IKEA shopping experience is a no-brainer!</p>
<h4 style="font-weight: 500;"><strong>2. Use Lids</strong></h4>
<p>Surprisingly, your laundry basket and trash can aren&#8217;t the only essential places to have a lid. Next time you buy storage supplies, focus on items with lids only too.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s be honest, apartment bedrooms offer closet space with limited functionality. While a cubed shelf may seem like the perfect tool to keep organized, it may just take up more square footage than it&#8217;s worth. You don&#8217;t need another piece of furniture to keep a space looking clean. Stacking clear, matching storage bins can have the same appeal and be way more effective.</p>
<p>These same rules apply with bathroom organization. Cute baskets for your hair and body products are only helpful if you use everything you own daily. If there are items that don&#8217;t need to occupy the front row, utilizing a storage basket is the way to go. While we support this approach, we also suggest purchasing baskets with lids only. These allow you to stack them in a linen closet or under your bathroom vanity in a more clean chaos sort-of-way.</p>
<h4><strong>3. Maximize Wall Space</strong></h4>
<p>When shopping for the perfect floor plan, you may have been excited by the appliances or amenities. Like most renters, planning on where everything will go doesn&#8217;t happen until after the lease is signed. When deciding the locations of knickknacks and decor it&#8217;s important to use your walls. Keeping your floors and countertops clear of clutter will allow your entire apartment to look organized. A simple floating shelf here or stacked shelves there, can make all the difference.</p>
<h5 style="font-weight: 500;">We hope this list keeps you organized while enjoying your Menomonee Falls apartment home. Be sure to follow<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Apple-Valley-Apartments-Townhomes-108376447196004/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Apple Valley Apartments &amp; Townhomes</a></span>, <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/AppletonPlaceApts/">Appleton Place Apartments</a></span>, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/CameronHeightsApts/">Cameron Heights Apartments</a></span> on social media to keep yourself up-to-date on all the latest property happenings!</h5>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Spring and Summer are almost here! That means your vacation may be right around the corner too. The excitement of time off work and shopping for vacation essentials make it easy to forget about returning from vacation. Coming home to chaos is the last thing anyone wants after a stress-free trip. So, take care of these quick tasks before leaving your apartment for vacation and you&#8217;ll rest easy while you&#8217;re away.</p>
<h5 style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">1. Notify Your Property Manager or Landlord</span></h5>
<p>This is oftentimes a missed step. Alerting your Landlord that you are going on vacation is important for many reasons. First, in case there are any planned inspections that you are unaware of currently. The majority of communities perform annual maintenance inspections, for example. If you are planning on being away for a week or longer, you may not have been notified of an upcoming inspection yet.</p>
<p>Another reason to alert your Landlord is to ensure your packages are not stacking up outside of your apartment door. This can highlight that you are away and may open you up to becoming a victim of package stealing.</p>
<h5 style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">2. Housekeeping Items</span></h5>
<p>Before leaving your apartment, remember to take care of minor cleaning items. This goes beyond just coming home to a fresh smelling apartment. You&#8217;ll be thrilled you avoided bugs, bacteria, and rotten smells when you get back. Clear out any food that could spoil while you&#8217;re away, take out the trash, wash dirty dishes, and sanitize your bathroom before you head out.</p>
<p>The only thing you should have to take care of when you get back is vacation laundry. Wouldn&#8217;t that be nice?</p>
<h5 style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">3. Parking</span></h5>
<p>Road trip with your car? Then you can disregard this tip, but if you&#8217;re keeping your vehicle on-site, there are a few questions to answer. If your <a href="https://www.morgenson.com/apartments/">community</a> has assigned a parking spot, underground parking or personal garage to you, you should park your car in that space. Otherwise, contact your property manager or Landlord and ask where is the best place to park your vehicle during your time away. They may have the perfect spot!</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re only option is to park on the street near your community, we have tips for you too! Remove any valuables from your vehicle ahead of time. Roll up all your windows, lock your doors and make sure your car is parked in a well lit area. It&#8217;s always a good idea to leave a spare key with a local friend or family member just in case, as well.</p>
<h5 style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">4. Electronics </span></h5>
<p>Save energy and money by unplugging some electronics before you leave. There are some exceptions! Do not unplug your refrigerator or turn off all of your breakers. The last thing you&#8217;ll want is to come home to appliances that aren&#8217;t working when you plug them back in. Even worse, having entire rooms that don&#8217;t have power because the breaker needs replaced.</p>
<h5 style="margin: 0in; font-family: Calibri; font-size: 18.0pt;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">5. Have fun!</span></h5>
<p>The beauty of renting is skipping all the stresses of home ownership. There are tons of extra things you avoid just by living in an apartment home. Woo hoo! Let your community team handle the landscaping, maintenance, snow shoveling, and package collection. You just go have fun!</p>
<p>By following these easy tips before leaving your apartment for vacation, you can home happy and worry-free!</p>

<h2><b>Amazing Amenities and Features</b></h2>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the spirit of giving, we often find ourselves searching for the best deals, making sure our loved ones know exactly how much we care. Even though Black Friday and Cyber Monday are behind us, Santa wouldn&#8217;t want you to forget about treating yourself too.</p>
<p>Stay on Santa&#8217;s Nice List and check out our 4 Christmas deals to enhance apartment living below!</p>
<h3>1. Bedding Upgrades</h3>
<p>Don&#8217;t let the post-holiday blues get you down! Fresh, luxurious bedding will keep your apartment feeling cozy while you ride out the rest of our lovely Wisconsin winter.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s great about Christmas bedding deals is they&#8217;re typically marked down the entire month of December. So all you last minute shoppers can rest easy. Heated blankets, huge throws, and quality sheet sets offer the biggest discounts. <a href="https://www.kohls.com/catalog/for-the-home.jsp?CN=Activity:For%20the%20Home+Discount:25%25%20off%20or%20more+Assortment:Cozy%20Trend%202019&amp;BST=3760336&amp;icid=hpmf-offer25cozyforthehome&amp;kls_sbp=45214651448017734163186322475771762536" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kohl&#8217;s</a> definitely has our favorite picks this holiday season. They have an assortment of cushy bedding perfect for promoting rest, right inside your warm apartment home.</p>
<h3>2. Above Average Kitchen Appliances<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span></h3>
<p>One upgrade to consider this Christmas would be a new kitchen appliance. A traditional appliance would include a refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher. Nowadays, these include air fryers, instant pots, and Nespresso coffee makers. Their popularity stems from how much they save on time, money and kitchen space.</p>
<p>The majority of our apartments offer both built-in pantries and walk-in pantries. Mixing those with tons of cabinet and counter-top space, can only mean one thing, you DEFINITELY have room for these hot deals. <span id="productTitle" class="a-size-large"></span><span id="productTitle" class="a-size-large">So skip your next Door Dash order and become a chef in your own apartment this holiday season.<br />
</span></p>
<h3>3. Give your Bathroom a Boost</h3>
<p>Personalizing your master or guest bathroom is easier than you think! Whether you&#8217;re looking to mix, match, or coordinate with the rest of your apartments decor, buying new bath towels is essential to boosting your bathroom vibe. The savings on bath sets are huge too. So, don&#8217;t disregard the difference between a regular towel and a bath sheet this holiday. These oversized towels will make a regular towel look like a wash cloth. Trust us and Google it.</p>
<p>After all the hustle and bustle of the season, all you&#8217;ll have to do is hit play on your favorite holiday playlist. Drop your peppermint scented bath bomb in the tub and relax.</p>
<h3>4. Electronics<span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />
</span></h3>
<p>Equally important as appliances, your apartments electronics have probably expanded over the last year. December is the best time to snatch up these new media devices at a cost that doesn&#8217;t break the bank.</p>
<p>Watching movies and your favorite TV shows can become very important while stuck inside over winter. Consider picking up a streaming device like the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0791TX5P5?tag=googhydr-20&amp;hvadid=317482820627&amp;hvpos=1t1&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=4669541315335389357&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=e&amp;hvdev=c&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=9018822&amp;hvtargid=kwd-26680316&amp;ref=pd_sl_746ssr8qzf_e" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Amazon Fire Stick</a> and <a href="https://www.apple.com/tv/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Apple TV</a>. Although you may need to add onto these devices with Hulu or Netflix memberships, they are still extremely affordable. In contrast to other expensive options like large cable TV packages.</p>
<p>Equally impressive is the Amazon Smart Plug. These plugs allow you to use voice control on your lights, TV, coffee makers and more! Another solid gift for yourself or any white elephant parties you&#8217;re attending. And the perfect present for our tech savvy tenants.</p>
<p>With these 4 ways to enhance <a href="https://www.morgenson.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">your beautiful apartment</a> this Christmas, you&#8217;ll rest easy knowing you&#8217;ve upgraded some essentials, plus you don&#8217;t have to shovel a single snow flake!</p>
<h4>Santa would definitely approve of these wonderful deals. But would you? Leave your comment below to tell us what deals you won&#8217;t be missing out on this holiday season!</h4>
<h4>&#8212; From all of us at Morgenson Realty, we wish you and your loved ones a very Merry Christmas!</h4>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Moving is an exciting time. Usually, considering your monthly budget is the first step in this process. After completing several apartment tours, your focus can often shift. All of a sudden newer appliances or luxurious amenities become top priorities. Before stretching yourself thin for granite counter-tops, remember to ask, how much do utilities cost?</p>
<p>Your monthly rent usually doesn&#8217;t include apartment utilities. Renting expenses can vary greatly, but here are the typical utilities to expect. Electricity, gas, water, trash, recycling, cable, and internet. We suggest including renter&#8217;s insurance on this list, as well.</p>
<h3><strong>What Utilities are Included in Your Lease?</strong></h3>
<p>Before taking the first step in applying for an apartment, you should know what utilities will be included in your lease.</p>
<p>It’s common for renters to have their trash and recycling bills covered by their landlord. The renter will then be responsible for the electric and water bill, for instance. However, free WiFi is a new option some renters wouldn&#8217;t think to ask about. So make sure you have every utility listed clearly on your lease agreement.</p>
<h3>It&#8217;s Electric!</h3>
<p>Your electricity bill is usually the largest utility bill due monthly. There are key things to look for when renting an apartment that could play into a pricey bill. Here are a few things to consider&#8230;</p>
<h4>Number of Rooms</h4>
<p>The more rooms you have, the more rooms you&#8217;ll need to heat and run your air conditioner to keep cool. Always check if the apartment has electric baseboard heaters. These heaters are individual units that heat your apartment room-by-room. Another option offered room-by-room is a PTAC or packaged terminal air conditioner. PTAC&#8217;s are self-contained heating and air conditioning systems typically installed in the wall of a single room.</p>
<h4>Ways to Conserve Energy</h4>
<ul>
<li>Maintain an average temperature throughout the day. Don&#8217;t make the mistake of leaving your heater or air conditioning off during the day. Cranking the dials drastically when you get home can actually work against you. Your heater or air conditioner is using a lot more energy to drastically change the temperature than they would be if they kept a steady pace throughout the day and night.</li>
<li>Invest in energy efficiency.
<ol>
<li>Replace your light bulbs with energy-efficient LED bulbs &#8211; Not only will you save money using anywhere from 25-75% less electricity, but you will also rarely need to replace these bulbs. They can last up to 20 times longer than regular light bulbs. A true win-win.</li>
<li>Use Smart power strips &#8211; The electricity used when electronics are turned off or in standby mode, are a major source of energy waste. These are known as, &#8220;Phantom Loads&#8221;. You can eliminate this extra cost by using Smart or Advanced power strips. When your electronics are not in use, these power strips will turn them off. They can be set to a timer or controlled by a remote device. Both saving you money and upping your cool factor.</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ul>
<h3>Heating and Gas Bills</h3>
<p>These bills are commonly found on your electricity bill. However, due to gas appliances and gas heaters, these could be sent separately. Either way, it&#8217;s beneficial to know if you should calculate these costs into your monthly budget before renting your apartment or townhome.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s also smart to ask your landlord or property manager what to expect in utility costs. Calling the utility company is equally important. Never go off just an opinion or personal guess. Ask the landlord for the exact apartment address and apartment number of your potential new rental home. Then provide that address to the utility company for the average bill in that specific unit. This will be the closest you will come to know your likely costs in the future.</p>
<h3>Who Pays for Water?</h3>
<p>The majority of apartment complexes or townhome properties include water in the rent price. In comparison, there are locations that make their tenants split the cost of the entire building or with the floor their apartment is located on. As an example, if you live on the fourth floor, you would split the water bill with every other apartment on that floor. It seems less than appealing, right? Thankfully, our properties are not included in that group!</p>
<p>The average daily water usage is split between the toilet, bathtub or shower, and appliances, including a washer and dishwasher. In addition to those, don&#8217;t forget the water used for drinking and personal hygiene.</p>
<h3>Cable and Internet Bills</h3>
<p>Are you streaming your TV services or purchasing a cable package to DVR your favorite shows? No matter the case, you&#8217;ll need the internet for both!</p>
<p>Research what cable and internet companies service the area you&#8217;re looking to live in. Then decide if you&#8217;re going to need faster speeds to fit your needs. (We&#8217;re poets over here.) The majority of our properties, for instance, offer AT&amp;T Fiber which has speeds up to 1,000 Mbps. The demands of an online gamer will be different than someone who just pops on Amazon for a quick purchase here and there. So make sure you&#8217;re not overpaying for something you&#8217;ll never use.</p>
<h3><strong>Total Utility Costs</strong></h3>
<p>To summarize, there is no way to estimate the total utility costs without considering your individual renting scenario. This budget will depend on things like how many people live in the apartment, what climate you live in, and what your daily habits are. Take the time to research what best fits your needs. When in doubt, ask questions! Never be afraid to cover your bases and ask questions when touring different apartment communities. Expensive surprises are the worst kind of surprises. To help get you started, we&#8217;ve added a few links from local companies below.

<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Thanksgiving doesn&#8217;t have to be spent dodging your sister-in-law&#8217;s burnt gravy and your cousin&#8217;s political rants. It can be a festive get-together without forced conversation and even without turkey! Enter Friendsgiving. Peep more perks to celebrating Turkey Day with your closest buddies below and decide for yourself. </strong><span id="more-780"></span></p>
<h2>Relax, really.</h2>
<p>You can always be yourself around friends. That&#8217;s why Friendsgiving is so great! Speaking freely, without judgment really takes a huge stress out of the holiday. Make new traditions or decide no traditional behaviors are allowed. Maybe you take this gathering up a notch and everyone wears pajamas. Shake things up and create the memories your aunts can never gossip about later.</p>
<p><img decoding="async" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5094" src="https://www.morgenson.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/basted-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://www.morgenson.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/basted-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.morgenson.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/basted-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.morgenson.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/basted-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.morgenson.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/basted-200x200.jpg 200w, https://www.morgenson.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/basted.jpg 500w" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></p>
<h2>Standard Food Rules Do Not Apply</h2>
<p>A golden-brown turkey, a big bowl of stuffing, piping hot mashed potatoes, sugary yams, buttery dinner rolls, copious amounts of gravy and THE PERFECT PUMPKIN PIE. All the adjectives!</p>
<p>Many of your friends will still attend family celebrations and enjoy a meal similar to the one described above. If you have a group of friends that all love the standard food list for every Thanksgiving, then no need to stray here. If you are looking for an eclectic assortment of options, however, why not create a Friendsgiving built around dishes they love most? Ask your pals to bring one or two of their favorites and maybe learn a little more about each of them by asking why those dishes are a must-have in their home.</p>
<h2>Weekend Holiday</h2>
<p>Whether you join in on Thanksgiving with relatives or not, you now know Friendsgiving doesn&#8217;t follow the same rules. That means you can celebrate it the weekend before Thanksgiving or even the weekend after.</p>
<p>Schedules get filled quickly and both friends and family are difficult to plan around. Don&#8217;t force yourself into inviting your friends over the week of Thanksgiving. Touch base and work out a date that keeps everyone experiencing a pressure-free Friendsgiving, along with you.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Have you been hosting a Friendsgiving for years now? Share how you celebrate this worry-free get together in the comments section!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #422e2e;">WHY APARTMENT LIVING IS FITTING FOR FALL</span></h1>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Your windows are cracked open, the crisp scent of fall air breezes throughout your apartment, and the only things on your agenda are getting chili started in the crockpot, watching football, and enjoying pumpkin flavored everything. Southeastern Wisconsin is the one of the most beautiful places to live this time of year. Leaves of various colors and cozy weather makes the desire of staying home truly enjoyable.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #422e2e;">Check out our top 3 reasons why apartment living is so fitting for fall below!</span> </b></p>
<hr />
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">1.</span> <span style="color: #8f4e09;">&#8220;DON&#8217;T WORRY, BE HAPPY&#8221;</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">When living in an apartment, the worry of maintaining a yard or house is non-existent. Raking leaves? Nope! Preparing for the first snowfall? I don’t think so! You have all the time needed to make pecan pie, visit</span> <a href="http://www.cozynookfarms.com/">Cozy Nook Farm</a><span style="color: #000000;"> in Waukesha to pick out a huge pumpkin, and enjoy all autumn has to offer in Wisconsin. Apartment living certainly provides tenants with more time to enjoy the things that really matter.</span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b06413;"><em><b>Where else to go for perfect pumpkin pick&#8217;n &amp; early holiday cheer?</b></em></span></h4>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.elegantfarmer.com/">The Elegant Farmer</a> <span style="color: #000000;">&#8211; Mukwonago, WI</span>   |    <a href="http://www.milwaukeedowntown.com/about-us/special-events/milwaukee-holiday-lights-festival/kick-off">Milwaukee Holiday Lights Festival</a> <span style="color: #000000;">&#8211; Milwaukee, WI</span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">2.</span> <span style="color: #8f4e09;">COMMUNITY</span></h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Morgenson Realty likes to keep a strong sense of community within our company, as well as our properties. Whether it’s a costume contest, door decorating competition or food drive for charity, celebrating the holiday’s at work and at home always creates the comradery and community that truly unify our priorities.</span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #b06413;"><b>Get Inspired!</b></span></em></h4>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #000000;">Decorating for the holiday’s is always something to look forward to. Save yourself hours of Pinterest pinning or wandering the aisles of Hobby Lobby (not that BOTH of those options aren&#8217;t insanely fun) by gaining and sharing the perfect fall vision from your neighbors! Seeing a couples unique pumpkin decorating skills, cute kids in costumes or the prettiest homemade wreath you’ve ever seen, really keeps to the tight-knit community feel that living in a rental apartment provides.</span></p>
<h2><span style="color: #000000;">3.</span> <span style="color: #8f4e09;">THAT COMFY LIFE</span></h2>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Overpaying for heat, water, etc. is old news! Your home should be a place where you relax, decompress and enjoy the tranquility of knowing somebody “has your back”. The perfect sized apartment offers a cozy setting without the burdens of home ownership and a peace of mind you don’t have to overpay for. Apartments offer a ton of inclusive features and amenities at top locations and all for a reasonable price. We support prioritizing “<i>that comfy life”</i> and will always focus our attention on the importance of “home”, at each of our communities.</span></p>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><em><span style="color: #b06413;"><b>Guess What?</b></span></em></h4>
<p><span style="color: #000000;">Our communities throughout Sussex, Menomonee Falls, Pewaukee, Waukesha, Franklin, Jefferson and Wauwatosa are all surrounded with the best Autumn festivities! Plus, it’s easier than ever to follow updates and upcoming events from your apartment community via Facebook! <b>GO SHARE YOUR FAVORITE APARTMENT DECORATING IDEAS OR FALL GO-TO’S WITH US &amp; YOUR NEIGHBORS! </b></span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #008000; text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.morgenson.com">Like and Follow your property today!
