THE BEST REASONS TO RENT

AFFORDABILITY

JANE HERMAN

HASSLE-FREE LIVING

When you rent, you’ll never have to call a plumber, electrician or handyman again! Renting frees you from the cost and hassle of all home maintenance and repairs. Empty-nesters can happily shed house-related chores and move closer to entertainment, restaurants and shopping, while young professionals can enjoy a simpler lifestyle and shorter commute.

By renting, you’ll be able to afford to live in an area that might otherwise be out of your price range. And, unless you’re planning on staying in a house for more than five years, you risk losing money if you buy a home. Mortgages are amortized so you’re paying mostly interest in the first few years. Add in property tax, insurance, maintenance costs and the fees associated with selling the house and five years of renting can be significantly less than owning.

THE REWARDS OF RENTING

Renting gives you the freedom to invest your savings in stocks, mutual funds, a small business,

your education, or a vacation, instead of a home.

LOCK IN UTILITY COSTS

In most cases, you will not have to incur bills when you rent. In many apartments the cost of utilities are included in your rent. Because of fluctuating market prices, utility rates can rise dramatically. As a renter, you will not have to bear these cost increases directly.

Residents enjoy access to the gym, recreation room, steam room and movie theatre, redefining community living. Each suite comes with all utilities included PLUS complimentary SHAW fibre+gig internet. Find your

RESEARCH MOVERS BEFORE YOU HIRE

You can also: Ask three movers for estimates in writing; get the terms and conditions of your move in writing; ensure you know how your goods will be protected for loss or damage.

they arrive at a valuation that is covered by insurance?

Hiring the right moving company can save you lots of work, stress and headaches.

However, you’ll want to be careful that the company you hire is above board and upholds strict standards.

How can you tell?

Do your research. Is the company a member of the Canadian Association of Movers (CAM)? You can also contact the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and your provincial government’s consumer protection agency.

Does the company have a minimum charge, and how are you charged after that minimum is met? Will you be charged for fuel or travel time to and from their office to your home? Will there be a fuel surcharge or a stairs or long-distance walk charge if they have to park the truck some distance from your door?

Is there a deposit required, and what kinds of payment options are available? Do they offer free quotes? How do

It’s best for everyone involved to have a moving contract that outlines what is expected. Read it and ask questions about anything you don’t understand.

Hiring a company you can trust makes for a more comfortable, less stressful and successful move.

NESTLED BETWEEN MAIN STREET AND THE RED RIVER SEVEN OAKS

Located in northwest Winnipeg, the Seven Oaks neighbourhood is nestled between bustling Main Street and the banks of the Red River. The southern border can be found between Matheson Avenue East and McAdam Avenue and the northern border along Armstrong Avenue. Close enough for an easy commute to downtown and the nature of Kildonan Park, this area offers something for everyone.

Access to several small parks, as well as proximity to the spacious Kildonan Park and golf course, makes Seven Oaks an appealing neighbourhood for families, fitness enthusiasts, and nature lovers. Affordable living, Red River views, and a range of nearby shops and services make for attractive and convenient urban living.

Seven Oaks combines convenient access to urban amenities with quiet suburban living, whether you prefer strolling along the banks of the Red River or meeting friends for coffee and a macaron at A l’Epi de Blé French Bakery. This neighbourhood offers a range of housing options for all budgets and lifestyles.

This diverse area is home to a wide range of age groups, from babies to seniors. One or two-person households made up half of the area’s population, and families are also prevalent. Tagalog, Ukrainian, Polish, Portuguese, and Punjabi are just some of the languages you’ll hear spoken in the community. .

Residents enjoy a number of small parks and playgrounds within Seven Oaks, including Volunteer Park and the

Leila, Perth Avenue, and Burrin tot lots. Just over the area’s northern border lies the substantial Kildonan Park with its outdoor swimming pool, Rainbow Stage theatre, and toboggan runs. Shops, restaurants, and services are located on bordering Main Street and kindergarten to grade five students can attend Governor Semple school.

The northwest location of Seven Oaks gives residents convenient proximity to the amenities of downtown Winnipeg. Eleven bus stops are located throughout the neighbourhood to transport residents throughout the city. Winnipeg Transit routes 18, 32, 77, and 38 all service the area. Seven Oaks is bordered by the major thoroughfare of Main Street, which also provides access to nearby Perimeter Highway to the north.

Kildonan Park is a beautiful hub of activity.

TIDY UP!

How to keep the home tidy in just a few minutes a day. There are two tricks you can use to keep your home neat with little effort:

SCAN AND GRAB

Any time you leave one room, scan it quickly to see if there’s anything that belongs in the room that you are going to (or along the way). Keep a basket at the bottom of the stairs and any time you come across something that belongs on the second floor, toss it in. At the

end of the day, grab the basket on your way up. Deposit the items in the rooms where they belong right away (or first thing in the morning if you’re too tired). Be sure to take the basket back downstairs on your way down the next day. The key is to get into the habit of doing this daily so the basket doesn’t get too full, otherwise it becomes too time consuming to put everything away.

DO IT NOW AND SAVE TIME

Delaying tasks actually creates more work and wastes time. Fold or hang your clothes immediately after the dryer cycle is complete and you will spend less (or no) time ironing. Load the dishwasher

(or wash the dishes) as soon as you’re done eating and you’ll spend less time rinsing, scraping and scrubbing.

SMART STORAGE

You’ve probably heard the term ‘a place for everything and everything in its place’. This is so true, but it’s only part of the solution. The second half of this wisdom is to keep things in a logical position. Next time you are trying to find a home for something, instead of asking ‘where should I put it’, ask ‘where would I use it’.

coffee But first,

by SALINA YARA HALABI

Trendy local coffee shops have a special place in our java-loving hearts. Not only do they serve delicious sips, but they also offer a relaxed yet hip environment where we connect with friends… or escape on our own. Recreating this coffee sanctuary in your kitchen can completely elevate your daily routine, and even create a new ritual that will add intention to your day. Forget the days of rushed coffee as you run out the door – this kitchen edit is all about that lingering café experience. So, it’s time to give some extra attention to that forgotten kitchen corner or cluttered countertop and create a fabulous coffee retreat you can enjoy every day.

When it comes to enhancing the coffee vibe in your kitchen, consider creating a dedicated area where you can enjoy a cup of coffee with friends or family. Use neutral colours such as white, cream, black or brown to add a coffee-approved foundation in the space, then add unexpected accessories such as an ornate cart to showcase your updated coffee bar. Place all the coffee extras on display — flavoured creamers, small bites, or even a martini shaker and spirit of choice for the espresso martini fans.

Tight on space? A countertop coffee experience can feel just as elevated with an update to your appliances. A beautiful pour-over coffee maker, a stylish espresso machine, or a classic French press will not only look good, but also have you deliciously sipping in your kitchen.

Create a dedicated shelf or cabinet to store your coffee cups and small accessories such as a frother (a must!). And don’t forget about the beans. Whether it’s local roasts or your favourite blend, bring in flavours you love or try new beans to make a specialty crafted pour every time. Of course, teas and cocoa are also welcome. Add some coffee shop tunes and your kitchen is about to become a barista’s paradise.

HEAT UP YOUR SUMMER DECOR

Effortless LUXURY

by AMANDA AERIN

If there is any season to consider brightening up your space, summer is definitely it! There are ample opportunities to incorporate some of the season’s hottest trends into your decor, both inside and out.

Keep it natural

Macrame and woven natural materials have exploded in interior design, creating the perfect classy/ casual vibe for the summer season. Use this versatile material indoors in the form of a coffee table or bookcase, or take the boho feel outdoors for a lovely lounge look.

Bold expression

Bold patterns have always been at the top of my design wish-list. This summer’s interior design trends favour prints that emphasize colour contrasts. If you opt for a print, bolder is better. Over-sized prints as well as geometric and strong contrasts are a sure bet when it comes to feeling more refreshed and inspired inside – or outside – your home.

Extend your living space

The line between indoor and outdoor furniture is becoming increasingly blurred. So much so, that it is now almost impossible to see any difference between the two. This allows you to create a clear direction with your indoor and outdoor design and extend your living space into your backyard. Laid-back, effortless luxury is on top of my clients’ outdoor wish-lists, so when it comes to dressing your exterior, think of quality pieces that conjure up a vacation feel, right in your own outdoor space.
