• Welcome to our Blog!

    At Tonti Properties we work hard to provide exceptional living experiences for our residents.  Historically, our website has always covered all the basic information about our apartment communities…locations, neighborhood info, etc… you know, the “must-have” info. With the launch of the new and improved tontiproperties.com, we thought, why not go beyond the basics and try to connect with residents in an even more useful way? From this desire, came our blog.

    We hope you’ll readily find all of the information you need about Tonti, our values, and our communities on the new site, PLUS some useful tips that enhance your apartment living experience- no matter where you reside- on our new blog.  We’ll regularly share tips and trade secrets from our in-house experts and we’ll also throw in any brilliant content we run across on the web that may be useful for you as a renter!

    Enjoy the new site and always feel free to drop us a line if ever you have questions or comments.  We’d love to hear from you.

    Very Best,

    Tonti Properties

  • Make the Most of Your Apartment

    Tonti knows Apartment Living!  Over the years, our residents have shared some great life hacks that really help maximize space and minimize clutter.  Check out our top 5 tips below:
    • Get a lift. If your bed isn’t tall enough for storage bins to slide underneath, these handy bed risers will clear the way for some additional storage space and give you two extra power outlets for plugging in lamps and the like.
    • Rotate your clothing. No need to dig through heavy coats to get to your shorts in the summer.  Utilize Tonti’s on-site storage options and box up out-of-season clothing while not in use. It saves space and makes finding clothes easier.
    • Double down, with multi-purpose furniture that is. Make your furniture really count by purchasing items with built in storage. Ottomans, benches and stools can all be used for seating and stashing goods.
    • Hang shelving high, ceiling height even.  Not only does it draw the eye upward and make the space feel larger, but it maximizes unused storage space allowing you to store the things you want to hang onto but don’t need to put your hands on every day.
    • Cleanup your cleansers. A simple over the door shoe organizer like this one can be used on a pantry or laundry area door to free up cabinets and make finding your household cleansers a breeze.
      Happy organizing!
