If you find your mood drops with the thermometer, you are not alone. Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a common condition that comes and goes with the seasons, usually starting in the fall and continuing throughout the winter.

One of the best things about having a home you are proud of is inviting your friends and family to visit. Oakleaf Property Management encourages our residents to lead full and active lives within their apartment homes, and our guest and visitation policies make sure everyone has a chance to make the most of it.

’Tis the season for creative gift giving, and we have five amazing crafts that are both easy and inexpensive to make. As with any gift, it’s the thought that counts; as you are deciding which gifts to make, challenge yourself to consider ways to make them more personal for the person you have in mind.

If the lines at urgent care, doctors’ offices, and pharmacies are any indication, the flu virus is thriving in Siouxland.

“Good night, sleep tight, don’t let the bedbugs bite.” What was a pleasant childhood bedtime rhyme is now a very real nightmare for people across the country. In recent years, bedbug populations have increased by 500% and have been found in a number of single-family homes, multi-family homes, and hotels. As small as an Appleseed and able to stow away on luggage, clothing, furniture, and nearly anything with a nook or crevice the width of a credit card.

The holidays can be especially difficult for those spending them alone if you aren’t equipped to handle them. We’re here to remind you that these times also offer a wealth of opportunity to reach out and celebrate the gifts of the season not only with yourself (which can truly be a gift of its own), but also the community around you.

While there are many great reasons to live in Oakleaf apartment communities, the holiday season brings attention to some especially important ones. Whether this is your first Thanksgiving in your apartment or the seventh, we hope you agree there’s no place you’d rather be this holiday season.

With so many variables—cost, location, size, amenities, services—finding the right apartment home is hard. For many people, their apartment is the launch pad for their life; it allows them close proximity to family, friends, and work while allowing them to maintain expenses and an active social calendar. It’s safe to say that when you find the right apartment, you want to keep it as long as possible.
