Outdoor Spring Cleaning Checklist

Winter is ending, and spring is just around the corner; that means it’s time to get outside and start cleaning up the yard. This is especially necessary if you live in a cold climate where snow and ice have ravaged your home. Maybe you didn’t get all the leaves off the lawn before the first snow. Now is a perfect time to rake or mow and let the grass grow. Winter takes a toll on a home’s exterior, so it will need some time and attention to look good again. Check out this outdoor spring-cleaning checklist and make your property shine.

Wash the Windows and Doors

Take off all the screens and give the windows a good wash with soap and warm water. Dirt and weird fuzzies collect in between the screens and windows. That dirt attaches to the glass like glue and is tough to get rid of. Cleaning the screens and getting rid of the dirt will make it like new. You’ll be able to see out of the windows once again. This is an easy little trick to freshen up the house.

Clear the Walks and Driveway

Leaves, dirt, salt, and water coated the sidewalk, porch, and driveway for months. Get the broom out and sweep them all clean. Then, get a pressure washer and blast away what’s left. This is a good time to inspect the driveway for cracks and holes. The temperatures are at a consistent level to seal coat or patch the driveway or do some general maintenance on it. Sealcoating is a great way to make the exterior look brand new.

It is preferable to use pressure washer soap while washing your driveway and walks with your pressure washer to make them cleaner and more pristine. The most effective and efficient pressure washing soap is also environmentally friendly. Check the best pressure washing soap from Hotsy Equipment Company.

Wash the Patio Furniture

Hopefully you didn’t leave your patio furniture out all winter, but if you did, clean it. Get the hose out, pick up some soap and rags, and clean it all. No one will want to sit on dirt-covered furniture that looks awful and feels even worse. Shine it up and get it ready for summertime barbecues and patio parties.

Pull Any Dead Plants and Flowers

Any shrubs or flowers that are dried up and dead in the flowerbeds have to go. Don’t leave them there hoping they will grow back; make them grow back by pulling the dead brush. This makes room for the new spring flowers to come up and bloom. The dead plants look awful and only get in the way.

Clean the Gutters

Cleaning the gutters is a nasty chore, but it must be done. Get the ladder out, put on some gloves, and prepare to get dirty. Who knows what landed in those things over the winter, but it sure won’t be pretty. Get up there and pull it all down until there’s nothing left. You want the spring rains to make their way into the downspouts and away from the foundation.

The celebrated New York City landmark will introduce an unprecedented residential lifestyle to the heart of Midtown Manhattan, offering residents a world of exclusive private amenities along with special access to the best in-class services found only at the globally-renowned Waldorf Astoria New York.

The Waldorf Astoria has been a beacon of timeless glamour and luxury for nearly a century—home to Hollywood’s elite, host to countless world leaders, and the site of cultural events and galas that hold a special place in the hearts of New Yorkers and visitors from around the world. When the Waldorf Astoria opened on Park Avenue to rapturous reviews in 1931, it was the largest and tallest hotel in the world and is currently New York City’s largest privately-owned landmark.

Now, with residences for sale for the first time, buyers from New York and all over the world can call it home.” The sophisticated residential interiors and amenities by internationally renowned designer Jean-Louis Deniot, the visionary behind some of the world’s most opulent private homes, create a truly modern experience within the building’s historic framework.

Because of the generous scale of the property, residents will enjoy the highest number of service staff of any super-luxury residential building in New York, including a dedicated onsite concierge. One of the most unique features of the residences at The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria is the concierge closet, which is integrated into the design of the entryway in every home. The closet is used for the secure and private delivery of packages, laundry, and room service, and is accessible from both the common corridor as well as inside of the home. Residents will have exclusive access to over 50,000 square feet of private residential amenities, ranging from health and wellness to entertaining and business spaces, all brilliantly designed by Jean-Louis Deniot.

Waldorf Astoria New York set the standard and defined hotel service at an ultra-luxury level, and future residents of the condominiums will enjoy priority access to the unrivaled services of the hotel, including signing privileges at restaurants and bars, preferred pricing, and a la carte services like housekeeping and 24-hour in-residence dining. In addition to the 50,000 square feet of private residential amenities, residents will also have access to 100,000 square feet of amenities at Waldorf Astoria New York, including the hotel’s restored landmarked heritage spaces, spa, restaurant and bars. “Waldorf Astoria New York is our flagship and origin story, and we look forward to reopening its doors to welcome guests to the iconic landmark which is integral to the fabric of our brand as well as New York,” said Dino Michael, global head of Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts. “We are thrilled to offer a new residential component to the hotel, which will inevitably infuse a new life and spirit to the space and inspire us to bring our iconic ‘True Waldorf Service’ to the next level for residents.”

Douglas Elliman Development Marketing is the exclusive marketing and sales agent. “This will be an exciting opportunity for buyers to own a piece of New York City history. We aren’t just selling extraordinarily beautiful residences, amenities and services; we're offering the opportunity to buy into a legacy that can never again be duplicated,” said Dan Tubb, Senior Director of Sales at The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria. “There is no more glamorous residential lifestyle in New York City, and we are very excited about bringing The Towers to the market after receiving thousands of inquiries from as close as Park Avenue to the far corners of the world.”

The Towers of the Waldorf Astoria will offer 375 residences starting from $1.7 million. Occupancy is projected for 2022.

ODA Completes Denizen Bushwick

After 5 years of design and construction, ODA New York has completed Denizen Bushwick, 1.2 Million SF residential wonderland featuring 911 apartments, 20% affordable housing units, 15 mega-murals, 100,000 SF of outdoor space and a full suite of curated amenities.

Denizen’s communal spaces and courtyards are bisected by a 17,850 SF public park that creates a green promenade between the two sites, equivalent to two city blocks.

These spaces consist of more than 100,000 SF of outdoor space with impressive 360° views of the Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn. Designed to draw residents outside, rooftop amenities include a dining area with 4 kitchens, a mini-golf course, a hammock garden surrounded by a meadow, a dog park, and a fully staffed garden. The roof’s long leafy paths and secret secluded spaces are home to more than 250 native New York tree species, and over 1,200 species of shrubs and perennials.

This year, the Denizen rooftop farm will have garden plots available to residents to grow their own food from a selection of over 100 different seeds. With expert guidance from the Green Food Solutions staff, residents will be able seed, transplant, and harvest their own food.

“The rooftop farm serves as an edible oasis for urban residents with Pick Your Own days, pickling workshops, and hydroponic happy hours,” says Electra Jarvis, Green Food Solutions.

Inside the development, amenities include a game room, chef’s kitchen, bowling alley, rock climbing wall, spin studio, yoga studio, pool, a golf simulator and a movie theater.  Denizen hired a team to maintain the ODA designed amenities, choose expert fitness instructors, and craft events such as poker nights, beer tastings, pasta making classes, and movie nights.

5 Neighborhood Amenities That Improve Property Values

Although it might not always feel like it, choosing a place to live in New York City involves more than the price of rent. Whether you're looking to purchase a home or snag the perfect apartment, you want to find a location that offers convenient access to all your favorite aspects of living in a metropolitan area. This could mean a place to walk your dog, proximity to your office or a thriving nearby arts scene.

Property values in NYC are closely related to the amenities different apartments and homes provide. That's why you can expect to pay more for an in-unit washer/dryer. However, neighborhoods have benefits of their own, and these features can drive the personal and financial value of a property more than you might think. Here are five neighborhood amenities that boost property values in NYC.

1. Grocery and Retail Stores

Shopping is a part of day-to-day life, but it shouldn't take up your whole day — especially if you just need a few ingredients for dinner. In busy New York City, proximity to grocery stores and retail shops plays a large role in determining property value. Ideally, you should look for an apartment or home within walking distance of a grocer and several other shopping locations.

Although you may struggle to find a neighborhood that includes all your favorite retail spots, try to locate one with the essentials. The ability to pop in for a few items on your way home from work will save you time and make your property more appealing to any future buyers. 

2. Public Transportation

A walkable neighborhood can offer convenient access to many of the places you visit regularly. However, you will still need to take public transportation to get to other parts of the city. In general, the closer you are to a subway line, the more expensive a property will be.

Indeed, property in New York City neighborhoods tends to significantly increase in value after new lines open nearby or existing ones are improved. The Upper East Side of Manhattan has risen in value by 6% since the Second Avenue subway opened in 2017, and the Williamsburg neighborhood in Brooklyn has also seen success thanks to its subway line.

3. Gyms and Fitness Centers

If you are hoping to move into a location that will increase in value over time, look for neighborhoods with gyms, yoga studios or recreation centers. You might even want to peek inside to gauge how much of an impact the gym might have on buyers. 

Nice gyms with new equipment are popular with fitness enthusiasts, and recreation centers with pools, tennis courts and other amenities may appeal to families.

4. Restaurants and Coffee Shops

If you're more of a foodie, you may want to look for property in a neighborhood with plenty of dining options. Nearby restaurants and bars could boost local property value, especially if they're trendy. Just make sure to consider how any late-night noise might impact that value and your quality of life.

Coffee shops also dramatically influence property values in New York and across the country. A coffee shop within walking distance provides a convenient place to work and meet with friends, and it can also lead to a 4.5% increase in nearby home values. Starbucks influences surrounding property values the most. It looks like people really do love their coffee.

5. Public Parks

In New York City, a public park allows neighborhood residents to connect with nature and take a step back from their fast-paced lives. Whether you're looking to go for a jog or walk your dog, a park increases property value in a neighborhood. About half of homebuyers are willing to pay 10% more for a home near a park. 

You don't have to own property next to Central Park to benefit, either. There are great parks all over the city. Staten Island, for example, boasts more than 10,000 acres of green space.

What Amenities Matter Most to You?

All these neighborhood amenities can improve your property's value and your quality of life. However, you might also choose a place to live based on other factors, such as an apartment's proximity to your workplace or the neighborhood's overall sense of community.

Each borough and neighborhood in New York City has its unique charms. Do your research and remember that the amenities in an area contribute to the price of rent. Regardless of property value, choose a location that will allow you to truly enjoy what the city has to offer.

When complete in late 2020, the six-story luxury condominium will comprise 46 studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom residences ranging in size from approximately 425 to 1,857 square feet.  Asking prices for the carefully crafted one- to three-bedroom homes now available range from $695,000 to $2,495,000, offering an attractive option for buyers looking to move to one of New York City’s most established and diverse neighborhoods.
