Beaty/Denverite) Denver is really bad at recycling, like only 18 percent of waste gets recycled or composted bad, and part of the reason is its apartments. The city doesn’t pick up from these multi-family dwellings, nor does it require them to recycle, but as an apartment-dweller myself, I had to know more about why not.  After all, a survey from the nonprofit CoPIRG found that 88 percent of Denver residents find recycling is “very important or essential.” Even if the city doesn’t require recycling, apartment residents might balk at the absence of recycling, right? I started with Boutique Apartment s, the company that manages the building where I live. And yes, sometimes residents do request recycling, said the company’s ma...

A studio apartment is a great option if you're living on a strict budget or in a city with a flooded real estate market . While decorating a single- room living space can present unique design challenges , there are easy and inexpensive ways to create a beautiful, restful space you can call home. By using a few simple design strategies , you can find room for all of your everyday activities without feeling like you're drowning in a tiny sea of clutter. Go Big on Neutrals When decorating a studio apartment, consider neutral, light colors, which tend to make a room feel larger than it actually is. Selecting lighter tones for walls and larger furniture pieces will also add a sense of unity and structure that will anchor the space. To add inexpensive drama without making the room seem closed in, consider an accent wall that highlights a unique wallpaper pattern , bold paint color or oversized poster or painting. If you want to add bright hues to your neutral color scheme , ...

Our family of three, and two small dogs, stayed in apartment #3 for nine days. It's in a great location, right near Valley Gardens. It's an easy walk to restaurants and shopping. The apartment was clean, the beds were comfortable & there was a washer (no dryer) in the kitchen, which was great for us. Sainsbury's is right around the corner to pick up groceries. There was some confusion, as the apartments are "serviced," we expected clean towels after several days. We did call & got a prompt response, which was great. We also locked ourselves out once, and were very thankful that management had a back up plan, so we were able to get in right away. All in all, I would highly recommend! Room Tip: We were in apartment 3, a two bed, one bath that was great for three adults and two dogs.

Lisa Eckelbecker Telegram & Gazette Staff @LisaEckelbecker WORCESTER – The company building 365 luxury apartments downtown plans to spend about $90 million on the development and thinks Worcester is ripe for such construction.

Craig Slawson knows a lot about oil exploration, a business his family has been in for 60 years. In that industry, when you find a "play," you’ve identified a geological region where conditions are ripe for discovering oil fields , lots of them. Now that he’s expanded into real estate, the Denver-based founder of Epoch Developments believes he’s located a promising new "play" for that business in the River Market. He’s going in big, buying 10 historic buildings on the west side of a three-block stretch of Delaware Street between 3rd Street and Independence Avenue, and nearby property along Wyandotte as well. “What caught my eye in Kansas City is the same thing we see in Denver, just seven years behind,” Slawson said. “ People enjoy higher density areas with vintage buildings and clean and safe streets. I decided it was time to look at Kansas City. Once the streetcar initiative passed , I started to look harder. “The streetcar was the catalyst for me.” And at ...
