The Holidays are over or are they?

Top apartment amenities in Orlando

The Holidays have come and gone but that’s just for last year. A whole new batch is coming up this year and there are homeowners and apartment dwellers in Orlando who feel the holidays will have to do without me this year.

The limited space and lack of easy access to the kitchen in their homes have them set against having another cramped, poorly laid out party and this has these hospitable people unhappy. A big part of their problem is the kitchen and eating area isn’t anything great to experience during any meal, let alone one with a guest.

There are options in Orlando for these frustrated foodies and that would be to check the 420 East Apartment Homes. Just come by and experience the open space of the kitchen with a range, oven, and built-in microwave.

Kitchen islands are available and the cabinets and backsplash really pop. Any meal prepared here will be the envy of those who haven’t made a move like this to improve the most important room in the house.

Only Orlando Celebrates New Year’s Like This

Places to be on New Year's Eve in Orlando

The whole world will be out in the streets or visiting bars, restaurants, and even taking cruises on New Year’s Eve. Well Orlando has this mega party down to a science and here are some examples minutes away from your 420 East Apartment.

The Wall Street Plaza will be the place for a block party featuring a street wide light show and tickets to gain access to all eight venues involved, but act now before those tickets run out. It looks like another block party will be happening at Church Street with fireworks and an outdoor stage. You can then go inside the three bars Latitude, Cahoots, Chillers, and their next door neighbor Shannon’s Irish pub and dance the night away.

In Orlando the Family experience is also better than anywhere with the Magic Kingdom and Epcot center both bringing in the New Year with special events. Orlando is the place to be and the place to live in Orlando is the 420 East Apartments. Great amenities and access to great nightlife are just two of the many reasons to live here.

Think Differently this Black Friday in Orlando

Best Black Friday deals in Orlando

In Orlando, shopping malls are easily accessible and ready to start up the Holiday Retail Season with plenty of Black Friday Specials. Last Year a suggestion on how to best make your dollars count in the area was offered in The Orlando Sentinel and it still makes perfect sense. Avoid the Malls and head to the places known for sales all year long- Outlet Stores.

In Orlando that means heading over to Orlando Premium Outlets. Located on International drive, the retailers such as J. Crew, Coach, Kenneth Cole, Polo Ralph Lauren, and others will be a great place to get the jump on your Holiday shopping.

The number one deals usually are for TVs and now tablets but they will most likely be there next week at the big malls and big box stores. These retailers will be sure to make it worth your while to avoid the crowds and the frenzy- a win-win if there ever was one.

Then returning to the comfort of your apartment at 420 East in Orlando will make the day even sweeter. Close to the beach and great shopping makes this Orlando’s best residential choice.
