31 Mar How to Get the Most Out of Your Kamloops Apartment Rental
When living in an apartment rental, you can optimize your quality of life by enjoying amenities that are close at hand. To put our own spin on an old adage, “Apartment life is what you make it”. Many apartment tenants don’t make full use of building amenities, even though doing so can make apartment living much more enjoyable. Our Kamloops apartment community, McGill Ridge Apartments, includes many features that make life richer: fitness room, balconies or patios, and outdoor picnic areas.
Below are just a few ways you can get the most out of your rental apartment.
Use the Building’s Fitness Room
Some apartments have a shared fitness room that is often underutilized, meaning they’re also never crowded! If you are thinking of making good on a New Year’s fitness resolution or just want to get fit or continue your training, an apartment fitness room has many benefits. If you were to work out at a commercial gym, you would have to pay for a membership that you may or may not use.; You’ll also spend a lot of time travelling to and from the gym where you workout. Using the building’s fitness room eliminates wasted time and the close proximity of the fitness room to your suite means you’re more likely to workout consistently.
Enjoy Outdoor Spaces
People who live in houses or townhomes often have back yards with barbecues and seating, which become an extension of the home’s living space. You can achieve similar functionality if you rent an apartment with an outdoor picnic area or barbecue. You should definitely take advantage of being able to enjoy a picnic or barbecue with family or friends on a warm summer day, or have a place to relax and unwind in good weather, without having to venture far from your apartment building.
Turn Your Balcony or Patio into a Chill Space
If your rental apartment has a balcony or patio, with a little imagination you can turn that space into your own tiny Shangri-La. You only need a few things to make a useful space that can become like another room. Always ask the apartment’s property manager what is permitted on your balcony or patio.
- Small weatherproof bistro seating
- Small outdoor coffee tables
- Weatherproof patterned balcony runner rug
- Safe LED table lanterns
- Plants

Get Out into Your Neighbourhood
Kamloops has a lot to offer its residents: outdoor recreation, beautiful scenery, shopping, services, restaurants, pubs, entertainment and more. While the city isn’t “small”, it’s small enough that regardless of where you live, these amenities are close by. Enhance your lifestyle by getting out there and enjoying your city!
