find the perfect apartment
Summer is in full swing, and while the temps are rising, life at your Highmark community is staying chill—literally and figuratively. Whether you're in Texas, Florida, or anywhere in between, staying cool while still enjoying everything your apartment community has to offer is totally doable. Here are a few ways to beat the heat and make the most of your Highmark lifestyle this summer.
1. Make a Splash at the Pool
Let’s be real—there’s no better way to cool off than spending the afternoon at your community’s resort-style pool. Whether you’re swimming laps, floating with a cold drink in hand, or catching up with neighbors poolside, this is your summer go-to. Grab your favorite towel, some SPF, and maybe a good playlist—Highmark pools are designed for both relaxation and fun. Bonus tip: Head out in the early evening to enjoy cooler temps and a quieter vibe.
2. Chill Indoors Without Missing Out
Sometimes, the best way to beat the heat is to just stay inside. Luckily, Highmark homes come equipped with energy-efficient AC, modern interiors, and plenty of space to lounge in comfort. Crank up the AC, make a cold iced coffee, and enjoy your spacious floor plan without ever stepping outside. Want to socialize without sweating? Many communities offer clubhouses, lounges, and co-working spaces with AC and Wi-Fi—perfect for a casual hang or remote work day.
3. Grill & Gather—Later in the Day
Your Highmark community’s outdoor grilling stations are made for summer meals, but that doesn’t mean you have to sweat through them. Plan your cookouts for sunset or after dark when the temps cool down and the string lights come on. Invite your neighbors, toss some burgers or veggies on the grill, and enjoy those long summer nights in good company.
4. Keep Your Pets Cool, Too
Don’t forget your furry roommates! Walks are best in the early morning or later in the evening. Many Highmark communities also have dog parks with shaded areas to help your pup stay active without overheating.
No matter the weather, Highmark communities are designed to keep you connected, comfortable, and loving where you live—all year long.
