Yahoo Real Estate recently put up a list of the top ten greatest cities for young adults, and Kiplinger compiled a list of the ten greatest places for your future. These two lists were put together with different important factors supporting their logic, which includ
e population, cost-of-living, median household income, salary growth, unemployment rate, and general community atmosphere. Both lists, while varying in the other top ten spots, came to agreement on the number one place to live: Austin, Texas.
Upon first seeing these results, one might immediately ask why. The numbers are a good place to start, with a metro population of 1,705,075, a below average cost of living rate, an close to 7% unemployment rate (with the national average just above 9%), the economy of the city is booming, making it a great place to get into the job market and start climbing that corporate ladder.
Austi
n also has many job opportunities in the area, with eight colleges and universities, Austin school district, Dell, IBM, Seton Healthcare Network, and many more growing companies making up the top employers for the area. However, don’t let these major corporations scare your inner small business entrepreneur. There is plenty going on locally to support regional companies and promote community. With many thriving local bars, music venues, and shops, the small business culture is not lost.
So if you’re convinced and want to start your post-grad life off in Austin, take a look at Aspen Square’s fantastic Austin Apartments for affordable, comfortable, and convenient living! A perfect first step in planning your future.
Rosangel reflects on the excellent service that Chardonnay Ridge in Modesto, CA has offered her.
I just wanted to say thank you for helping us with our apartment search and especially for offering that great special with our apartment. The two years that we lived here at Chardonnay Ridge, we were very comfortable with everything and everyone and have had a fantastic experience. Thank you once again!

The New York Times posted an article yesterday, titled When Feng Shui Helps Determine a Deal’s Fate, discussing a broker at Time
Equities, Michael Rudder, and his growing use of feng shui in selling real estate. The first time Rudder was exposed to feng shui, the client, Om-Ah-Hum Realty L.L.C., brought it to him, asking for “the 9th and 15th for its offices, then switched to the 9th and 14th upon learning that there was no 13th floor. And although the price had been set at $450 a square foot, the company asked for $448 — and offered to make up the difference in another way. In addition, Om-Ah-Hum requested that the deal be signed on a day with a date ending in 8.” Rudder figured out that the numbers were based on feng shui, defined here as “the Chinese system of beliefs that governs building design, the calendar and numbers, among other things, and which is followed by many people in other cultures, particularly in East Asia.” Since his first encounter, Rudder has become more aware of the use of feng shui, and now he is experiencing an extremely noticeable increase of interest in his properties.
Positive energy through feng shui can come in many different ways, from the numbers related to the apartment (add
ress, floor, price, etc.), to the directions of doors and entrances, the shape of the building, and the lighting. Although it originally started with East Asian and Indian clients, we are seeing an increase of interest from American buyers and renters. So that leads us to ask: do you consider feng shui when buying or renting?
One helpful site posts an article on the ‘Top 5 Feng Shui Tips’, suggesting that readers should follow the 3 Ps when looking for an apartment. The 3 Ps to notice are: Path of energy, Plenty of windows, and Pastel colored kitchen. The path of energy refers to noticing if windows are across from each other or across from doorways. This opens up the fool for good flow of energy, as does having a good number of windows. The light or pastel colored kitchen brings in positive light and health. These are great tips, and for some more specific things to look for on building structure and location, look here.
Interested in feng shui in your current home? Not a problem! Taking simple steps like rearranging furniture and cleaning up the apartment can help bring positive energy. For furniture, try and start with an empty room and fill it one piece at a time, beginning with larger pieces. Conside
r the relevance, flow, and necessity of each item. If you don’t need it, donate it! This will also help rid you of clutter. Positive energy can’t move through a room with clutter and mess! Take a day to clean up your living space and you’ll be glad you did. The sooner the better!
If you’re looking for more in depth guidance on feng shui, try out this widget that will show you a way to personalize your apartment and create a positive space!
Or if you’re looking for a new Aspen Square apartment, the high ceilings of Lakes of Tuscana, the beautiful lakes views at Ashford Lakes, or the relaxation area at Abbey Glenn, complete with hammocks, may be exactly what you need to get that positive energy flowing!
For decades, Americans have viewed real estate as a solid investment, even using their home equity to finance things like college and retirement. But experts say those days are gone for good. Home buyers will never again see the high returns they’ve grown to expect.
“People shouldn’t look at a home as a way to make money because it won’t,” co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research Dean Baker said.
Housing values are expected to keep up with inflation, but that means a home will only return the money an owner puts in each month.
“There is no iron law that real estate must appreciate,” Stan Humphries, chief economist for the real estate site Zillow said.
Analysts estimate that it could take over 20 years to recover the $6 trillion of housing wealth that has been lost since 2005.
If the long term news is grim, the short term news is grimmer. Sales of previously occupied homes in the U.S. fell 27 percent in July, the lowest level in over 15 years, sparking fears of a double-dip recession.
So where’s the good news in all of this?
The bleak projection on the real estate front has many American taking a fresh look at renting. Many Americans have come to realize with a rental there is no fear of a bad investment and no mortgage left hanging over their head.
Renting an apartment is more predictable and more secure in this economy. At Aspen Square, our professional staff can help get you into a quality apartment home that is the perfect fit for you, your lifestyle, and your budget.
