Weather Reminder

Colorado weather changes fast, especially around open greenbelts and trail corridors. Keep water on hand, watch for hot midday pavement in summer, and plan shorter loops when it’s icy.  

Tips for Pet Owners When Apartment Hunting

When you’re searching for an apartment with pets in mind, it helps to evaluate more than “pets allowed.”

1. Read the full pet policy before you tour
   Look for limits on number of pets, deposits/fees, and any restrictions. Capstone welcomes up to two pets, with no weight restrictions and some breed restrictions. Find other details like pet rent and deposit here: Capstone Amenities & Pet Policy
2. Ask about day-to-day pet convenience
   A dog park, nearby walking routes, and easy-to-use building features can make a bigger difference than people expect. Capstone’s onsite dog park and underground parking are practical perks for daily life.
3. Don’t underestimate proximity
   Having a vet close by can reduce stress in urgent situations. Capstone sits near multiple veterinary offices, including options for preventive care and after-hours needs.
4. Consider outdoor access (patios and balconies)
   If your pet benefits from a little outdoor space, apartments with a balcony can be a gamechanger. At Capstone, personal balconies are available in select homes.
5. Plan your storage before you move in
   Food bins, litter, crates, carriers, and seasonal gear add up quickly. Having additional storage available can help you stay organized without sacrificing living space.
