Holiday Gift Ideas for the Impossible-to-Shop-For

'Tis the season for giving, and finding the perfect gift for that one person who's seemingly impossible to shop for can be a holiday headache. But fear not - RPM has got you covered with a selection of unique and thoughtful gift ideas that are sure to bring a smile to even the most discerning individuals. Let's unwrap the mystery of holiday gifting for those hard-to-please loved ones.

Personalized Gourmet Gift Baskets

Nothing says "I care" like a thoughtfully curated gift basket filled with gourmet treats. Customize a selection of their favorite snacks, wines, or specialty foods to create a personalized gift that's sure to impress. Consider adding a selection of local delicacies to make it extra special.

Experiential Gifts

Rather than gifting physical items, consider an experience that your loved one will cherish. Tickets to a live show, a hot air balloon ride, or even a cooking class can create lasting memories. RPM can help you find experiences near your loved one's location.

Subscription Boxes

Subscription boxes have gained popularity for good reason. They offer a continuous surprise each month. Choose a subscription that aligns with your recipient's interests, whether it's gourmet coffee, books, or wellness products. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Home Improvement and Decor

For those who love their living spaces, unique home decor items or tools for home improvement can be a hit. Think of personalized art, stylish furniture, or high-quality kitchen gadgets. RPM properties provide the perfect canvas for these thoughtful additions.

Wellness and Spa Packages

Give the gift of relaxation and self-care with a spa day or wellness package. Many of RPM's locations have world-class spa facilities nearby. Consider bundling a spa gift certificate with a stay at an RPM property for the ultimate pampering experience.

Charitable Donations

If your hard-to-shop-for person is passionate about a particular cause, consider making a charitable donation in their name. This not only shows you care about their values but also makes a positive impact on a cause they hold dear.

Finding the ideal gift for those "impossible-to-shop-for" folks doesn't have to be a daunting task. Whether it's a personalized gourmet gift, an experiential adventure, a subscription box, home decor, a spa package, or a charitable donation, there's a thoughtful gift waiting for every personality.

Make this holiday season extra special with our unique holiday gift ideas that demonstrate your love and appreciation.

How To Get The Most From Your Property Management Team

When choosing to rent over buying a home, one of many perks one will receive is the ability to work with a property manager for your home. From billing questions to maintenance requests, here are some of our top ways to ensure you’re getting the best experience with your property management team at your RPM Living apartment home.

Safety issues

While we pride ourselves in maintaining safe environments for all of our RPM Living residents, if there is ever a situation regarding another resident, unknown visitor, or an incident such as doors being left propped open, etc., these are all prime reasons to contact a property manager, and voice your concerns. This helps to ensure not only your safety and comfort, but the same for all of our residents.

Maintenance requests

From leaking pipes to broken appliances, one of the top perks of renting instead of owning is the luxury of having someone other than yourself install (and foot the bill for) repairs to your apartment - no matter how big or small they may be. When making a maintenance request to your property management team, please keep in mind that typically, the urgency of your repair team coincides with the severity of your maintenance issue.

Emergencies

While this may seem a little on the nose, it’s important to recognize what constitutes a true emergency to contact your property manager, and when to call the authorities. A serious emergency such as flooding, loss of heat / AC, and power outages should always be reported to your property manager, but instances such as fires, gas leaks, home invasions, etc. should always be reported to emergency services first, and only after should you reach out to a property manager. This ensures the safety of all involved, as well as the safety of your home.

Moving concerns

Whether you’re moving in or out, it’s never a bad idea to request some help with any questions or concerns from your property manager! Oftentimes, they can give helpful recommendations into the best local moving companies, moving procedures for a specific property, and can help ensure you are assigned / removed from all utility requirements (gas, water, electric, trash, wifi, etc.) where necessary.

Rent concerns

We’re all human, and all online systems have their quirks. If at any time, you feel that an incorrect charge has been placed on your account, don’t hesitate to reach out to your property manager to confirm! The main goal of a property manager is to ensure the comfort of residents across all properties, and this is one way to ensure open communication and respect goes both ways.

Renter-Friendly Tech For Your RPM Living Luxury Apartment

Are you looking for some renter-friendly smart home technology recommendations to make your life a little easier? Many often mistake that living in an apartment means limiting your smart-home technology. That isn’t true, and we’ve put together a list of smart-home technology recommendations that you can easily implement in your RPM Living luxury apartment today.

Robot Vacuum

Whether you’re a little messy or even if you’re a neat freak, robot vacuums are a lifesaver for day-to-day life, especially in apartments. Our open-concept layouts make it easier to get your apartment in tip top shape without you having to lift a finger. What else could you ask for? Bonus: this one even has a mop feature for all your hard floors.

Bluetooth Speaker

If you’re cleaning, working, or anywhere in between, a wireless speaker is a great way to set your mood - no matter what mood it is. This bluetooth speaker from Ikea may look and sound like it’s going to cost you an arm and a leg, but really, it’s only $79.99.

Smart Plugs

Feeling like your energy bill is a little higher than it should be? Invest in a smart plug! These little gadgets will allow you to check via WiFi just how much energy any of your appliances or other electronic devices are pulling, and they can be remotely turned off and on. That’s right - you can turn your coffee pot on without even getting out of bed in the morning. Sounds too good to be true? Wait until you see how affordable it is.

Indoor Smart Camera

Hoping to keep an eye on your pets, plants, or belongings when you’re away from your apartment, without installing an expensive home security system? If so, an indoor smart camera should definitely be on your list. Easily connect to your smartphone, and check out what’s going on in your apartment when you’re out of town, visiting with friends, or simply out for an errand.

Digital Assistant

This may seem too easy, but we mean it when we say that EVERYONE at our RPM Living luxury apartments should have one of these. Whether you need an answer to a question, set a timer or reminder, or even control your smart plugs, an Amazon Echo or a Google Home is a great way to make apartment life more efficient without breaking the bank or taking up space.

With so much helpful tech available in today’s world, we can’t wait to hear what your favorite tools are for your home, too! Let us know in the comments or on our social media.

Move-In Checklist For Our RPM Living Apartments

Getting ready to move into one of our RPM Living apartments across the US? We can’t wait to welcome you to your new home! As you prepare for move-in day, there are a few items to make sure you have in order so that your move-in day goes smoothly. Here is a handy checklist to keep your moving arrangements on track and avoid unnecessary hassle.

Sign Your Lease Documents

Step one is of course to make sure your leasing documents are signed by all involved parties, including yourself, any other tenants sharing the apartment with you, and a leasing agent. You should receive a copy of your signed leasing documents once they have been processed, but please don’t hesitate to get in touch with our leasing office if there are any hiccups with our automated system or you are still waiting for a leasing agent to sign.

Provide Proof of Renter’s Insurance

In accordance with your lease agreement, you’ll need to provide proof of renter’s insurance prior to moving in. Ensure that the coverage meets the requirements set out in your leasing document and please list your RPM Living apartment as an interested party on your policy so that we can be updated with this information. If you have any questions about renter’s insurance requirements or need a recommendation for an insurance provider, don’t hesitate to reach out to our leasing team.

Pay Pet Deposit (if Applicable)

If you are moving in with a pet, you’ll need to ensure that you have paid the pet deposit and pet fee prior to move-in. You’ll also need to provide a few details about your pet(s) including their name, age, and breed. These details also help us return your pet to you if they are ever lost or wandering outside of your RPM Living apartment without your supervision. If you adopt a new pet after moving in, please be sure to update our office with your new pet information.

Pay Security Deposit

A security deposit is a refundable fee paid at the beginning of your residency in order to help cover the cost of any damages to your apartment that may result during your stay. This deposit must be paid prior to moving in and will be paid back to you minus any repair costs when you end your residency at any RPM Living apartment community.

Provide Vehicle Information

If you have a car that will be parked in our community, we ask that you provide a few key details including its license place number, make, model, and year. This helps us ensure that we are able to meet the parking needs of all our residents and maintain the security of our community by ensuring that all vehicles are authorized to be parked here. If you get a new car after moving in, please be sure to update the office with its new details as well!

Benefits Of Living In A Community-Oriented Apartment Home

Apartment communities provide many benefits for renters, like flexibility and convenience. When making a decision on where to live, consider that apartment communities typically provide additional benefits that you may not receive as a single-family rental home dweller or home owner. We’ve outlined our favorite benefits of living in a community-oriented apartment home to help make your decision a little easier.

Community Amenities

Community is included in the name for good reason! From sparkling pools and fitness centers to resident lounges and outdoor gathering areas. Memories and connections are bound to be made in the community amenity spaces at your apartment home when you take advantage of them! Not to mention, access is included in your rent - so why not enjoy them as much as you can?

Stronger Sense of Security

There’s naturally going to be a stronger sense of safety and security when you know you’re surrounded by a community that’s looking out for you. That’s something that many apartment dwellers miss when they leave their apartment communities and opt for buying a home. Another benefit of these communities is knowing that gated access, keycard and pin pad access, surveillance cameras, and on-site patrol is available and keeping you safe with unmatched attention.

Worry-Free Maintenance

When you live in a community-oriented apartment home, the natural understanding is that everyone wants to be there and take care of their homes and outdoor environments just the same as you, as a sense of pride within the community. This is also achieved through worry-free maintenance programs provided by your apartment community, so you can spend more time focusing on your own interests.

Stronger Sense of Community

There are few feelings more rewarding than knowing you are part of a community you’re proud of, and this is easily achieved when living in an apartment home that values and puts forth ideals of community in high regard! From resident events to community amenities, to simply engaging with your neighbors and fellow residents, the feeling of knowing you’re a part of something bigger than yourself is a reward in itself.

Mobility

Community-oriented apartment homes are created with the needs and desires of its residents first in mind. Naturally, this results in better located communities, easier access to community amenities and events, and the knowing that your home was made for you - not the other way around.

Best Seafood Restaurants in Houston

It’s no secret that Houston is home to some of the best seafood restaurants in Texas! With the gulf just minutes away, fresh fish, shellfish, and crustaceans are coming into the city every day, leading to an abundance of surf & turf restaurants, sushi bars, oyster bars, and Cajun-inspired eateries. Luckily for residents of our luxury apartments in Houston, there are plenty of options to choose from no matter what neighborhood you call home. Here are just a few of our favorites.

Captain Tom’s Seafood & Oyster Bar

Captain Tom’s is a bit of a drive if you don’t live in northwest Houston, but it’s well worth the trip! Captain Tom’s is well known for its diner-like, unfussy atmosphere (in the shape of a boat) coupled with some of the best seafood in town. Locals rave about the gumbo, oysters (fried or on the half-shell), fried shrimp, micheladas, low prices, and great service. It’s a popular spot so you may have to wait for a seat but if that doesn’t bother you, you’re bound to love it.

Goode Company Seafood

Located near our luxury apartments in River Oaks, Houston and not far from the Museum District, Goode Company Seafood is best loved for its crawfish and oysters. It also offers a relaxed atmosphere that is less bustling than what you’ll find at Captain Toms, so it’s a good option for a casual date night. When you go, be sure to try the campechana and consider getting the gumbo and mesquite smoked oysters as well.

Roka Akor

Among the pricier options in town, Roka Akor is nevertheless well worth a visit. It’s located near our luxury apartments in River Oaks and near the Galleria. This Japanese steakhouse is one of the best places in town to get sushi as well as seafood classics like crab legs and shrimp tempura. You’ll also find delicious Wagyu beef entrees, unique desserts, and an extensive whiskey menu (as well as other spirits, beers, and cocktails). Perfect for a special occasion or date night.

Eddie V’s Prime Seafood

Also located near our River Oaks apartments, Eddie V’s Prime Seafood is another great spot for elegant dining and a wide selection of seafood dishes. It may be a chain, but Eddie V’s delivers unique dishes (alongside all the classics) enhanced by excellent service and live jazz music. While you’re there, try the lobster tacos, fresh oysters, crab fried rice, and bananas foster for dessert.

1751 Sea and Bar

For those who live near Rice Military/Washington Ave, 1751 Sea and Bar is a great place to enjoy seafood and gin drinks. When you visit, try the scallop chawanmushi, oysters from the raw bar, and pork belly with kimchi.
