GUEST BLOG | HANNAH | RESIDENT AT SCS FOX POINT
Moving into SCS Fox Point has made my transition into apartment living an absolute dream. I love that with being a newly built building, it has such a modern and clean style. All my expectations were exceeded by S.C. Swiderski upon moving in. My apartment was clean and all the utilities, including cable and Wi-Fi are included in the rent price, which only left me with having to set up my services for electric. All appliances are included, a stove, dishwasher, microwave, refrigerator, and a washer and dryer in the apartment. With those features all included, there was not much I had to worry about when planning to move. I have a one car garage that is large enough that I can park my vehicle inside of, set up shelves for storage, and store 2 kayaks. IT was important for me to have storage for my recreational activities, such as kayaking! Living in an apartment allows me to hit the water with my friends because I do not have to worry about lawn care at all. I was excited to be able to live on a property that feels like its own small community, which is exactly what SCS Fox Point is, even though it is in the middle of Merrill. It is located at the edge of town, so most of the views from my apartment feature trees and wildlife. While enjoying a quieter side of town, I can still easily access the highway and visit all the grocery stores, local coffee shops, schools, parks, and restaurants within minutes. SCS Fox Point is a pet-friendly site, so my dog, Darla, can live with me! She loves it here and enjoys getting treats from all the neighbors. S.C. Swiderski has been able to accommodate pet owners, like myself, by installing dog waste stations located throughout the property and having green space for me and my pet to enjoy. We are also only a 2-minute walk to Prairie Trails Park that has multiple different gravel walking paths alongside the river. I am busy with life, just like everyone else! So, living maintenance free has been great, SCS Fox Point has been a great place to call home!
