Christmas in Miami

One of the perks of living in Miami is the year-round fun. Just because there is a slight chill in the air doesn’t mean that the party stops. Miami is bustling any time of the year, thanks to its nearly perfect weather.

The South Pole Speakeasy at Brickell City Centre is one of the most interesting places you can go during Christmas while living at Continuum South Beach.

Packing Tips for Home Offices

It’s said that the home office is one of the most complicated rooms to pack in the home. Full of important documents and high-dollar electronics, so much needs to be handled with care. Many items in the home office are quite heavy, adding an additional strain to moving (versus lightweight clothes from the bedroom or toys from the children’s room).

To package all this up successfully when moving to Continuum South Beach requires a few key points to make sure things run smoothly.

For packing supplies, you want to make sure your boxes are strong enough to handle the weight of equipment and pounds on pounds of paper documents. Consider a storage bin that can easily be picked up and loaded into a moving truck by one person for extra security and support. Use bubble wrap to wrap up electronics and protect screens during the move.

When it comes to paperwork, before you move to one of our Continuum condos for sale, sort through those stacks of papers hiding in the closet, desk drawers, or in random corners of the room. It may be a daunting task, but it will help you get rid of clutter you don’t need, saving you energy and valuable moving space. Be sure to shred the documents you are getting rid of and recycle the paper.

Finally, stay organized. This sounds like a given, but it’s easy to forget what goes where, which cords go to what electronics, and how paperwork is sorted and stored. If you don’t label things correctly, you will inevitably forget and spend hours trying to sort things out.

Why Condo Living is Better Than Apartments

Renting an apartment may be convenient, but it does come with its own downsides. You have to consistently deal with landlords that may or may not be responsive and helpful, rental prices skyrocketing year after year, and sometimes even the lack of amenities. When thinking about where you want to live long term, it may be time to ditch the rentals. If you want to keep the amazing community benefits and city life atmosphere without all the inconveniences of apartment life, then Continuum condos for sale may be the way to go.

 

Condos can help you build up equity. You are no longer throwing money away by paying someone else for rent. If you want to build up investments financially and invest into a home you can call your home, condos are a great option for that.

 

Home repairs are much easier with condos at Continuum South Beach too. You are only responsible for the repairs that need to be had inside the unit rather than the entirety of the property. You do not have to worry about lawn care, storm damage, or any roof repairs. Most repairs in condos are small – such as minor plumbing issues.

 

You will be much closer to the hustle and bustle of Miami in a condo. Restaurants, bars, and entertainment are just walking distance away, and if not, there are plenty of rideshares like Uber and Lyft to be had. It can make commuting to work in the city or meeting with friends for a post-work cocktail much easier.

 

Overall, condo life is a more convenient option that does not come with all the hassle of home-ownership and none of the headache that comes with renting.
