If you are an aspiring writer, you might find inspiration in Valley Cottage, New York. Some notable authors who once called this little hamlet home include Sigrid de Lima, Anita Shreve, William Styron, Harvey Swados and Isaac Bonewits. Also, Leo Tolstoy's youngest daughter, Alexandra, once lived in this little town.
Valley Cottage is a hamlet of the town of Clarkstown in southwest New York. The population was just over 9,100 in 2010, and at just 4.3 square miles, Valley Cottage gives residents the chance to get to know their neighbors, but they'll also have some space to have some privacy in their everyday lives. During the American Revolution, this little hamlet was known as Storm's Corner, but in 1876, residents decided that it would be more aptly named Valley Cottage. There are two legends regarding the name; one is that it was named for the house nearest the railroad station, and the other is that it was named after a horse. Regardless, the quaint name of Valley Cottage has stuck, and its residents enjoy the charm of this small town to this day. See more
Apartment complexes with a gym offer a valuable amenity to Valley Cottage renters looking to get fit and slash their gym membership. However, not all gyms are the same.
Make a list of your must-haves in a gym setting. Ask about the variety and age of any cardio machines. Also ask about any weight training equipment and free weights.
Consider the spaciousness of the workout area. Some apartment gyms are small. Those can create tension with tenants looking to squeeze in a workout before or after work.
If you enjoy circuit training, make sure there’s enough space to spread out and get in the workout you want.
Cleanliness is also crucial to an apartment gym experience. During your apartment tour, carefully inspect the fitness area to check for cleanliness and any extra perks. Also consider the potential savings if you can cancel a gym membership!
Towels, an attendant, flat-screen TVs, and a locked door for exclusive tenants access can all add value to your apartment gym experience.
