Things to Do Just a Step Outside Your Apartments in Chico California

When the sun is shining, the temperature is a pleasant 75 degrees, and there is a gentle breeze blowing, the last thing you want to do is be stuck inside Chico apartments. We have to enjoy this weather while we can because before we know it the mercury will be reaching into the 100’s. Chico offers some great springtime activities and events, but really all you have to do is take one step outside your door. Living in Chico apartments offer some great outdoor amenities that are literally just a step away.

Prepare Your Patio

No yard? No problem! Most Chico apartments come with a balcony or patio and now is the perfect time to get it ready for the warmer weather. If your patio is actually being used as storage space, then it’s time to downsize. Get rid of some stuff so you can make room for friends. All a small patio really needs is a barbecue, a bench or couple of chairs, a plant or two, and some twinkle lights for ambiance. Then you can enjoy the cool spring evenings on your patio, eating your favorite meal, and sipping your favorite beverage. All of your neighbors will be envious for sure.
