Why Connecticut Is the Best Place to Live

Picture this: You drive up the northeast coast, away from the chaos of a busy workday in New York City. The air is clean - fresh. Driving up, the color on the trees comes back, the traffic calms down - you’re finally home.

This is why Connecticut is the best place to live. Not to mention…

Great Education
You have Yale University, Quinnipiac University, University of Hartford - the list goes on. You will also find some of the best school districts with excellent classrooms from grades K-12.

This is why Connecticut is the best place to live.

Balance
New England charm mixed with urban convenience and nature. It’s all compacted into one state. Drive to the nearby lakes for a taste of serenity; drive into the city for entertainment, food, and drinks (foodies galore!); cruise around the neighborhood and see those colonial home and luxurious mansions - it’s all there.

This is why. Because you can have…

The Best of Both Worlds
Close proximity to your city job. You can come back to your (much more) affordable home, in a place more quiet, where you still have everything you need just minutes away. 

This is why Connecticut is the best place to live.

But don’t take our word for it - come stop by! Up the coast, in the beautiful city of Danbury lies the luxurious community of Copper Square. This maintenance-free living community offers townhomes and duplexes that homeowners can purchase. The best part is that you can enjoy the luxury of owning your own home and let someone else take care of the yard work.

Natural Cleaning Hacks That Actually Work

It’s that time of year again to get down to the nitty gritty! If spring cleaning is on your to-do list, you’re probably getting ready to buy all the cleaning essentials you typically use. But did you know that those cleaning solutions contain harsh chemicals that can damage your surfaces? Instead, here is how you can naturally clean everything in your home with all natural ingredients:

Oven
With all the cooking you do in your kitchen, try scrubbing your oven with vinegar and baking soda. This should get rid of grease marks and eliminate any foul odors.

Blinds
Clean your blinds with 50 percent vinegar and 50 percent water. Use an old sock or a clean cloth to pick up dust. Again, the vinegar will help to freshen up the smell of your blinds plus get rid of stains.

Carpets
Aside from vacuuming, remove oil stains from your carpet with baking soda. Let it sit and absorb for a little while. Then rinse from the outer edge of the stain and work your way inwards.

Tub
Use a teaspoon of liquid soap and a few drops of antibacterial oils with baking soda (good for many things) plus water. Make a paste to scrub the tub with it.

Cabinets
Skip the Pledge. Mix vegetable oil and baking soda instead and use a clean toothbrush to scrub dust and dirt away.

This maintenance-free living community offers townhomes and duplexes that homeowners can purchase.

Perfect Spring Colors for Your Home

The sun is shining outside, but your home still resembles the winter blues. Spring is all about brightening things up inside your home. This season, swap out your metallics for vibrant summery hues: 

Yellow
A bold yellow can instantly brighten up any room. Paint an accent wall, throw down new seasonal pillows, or simply arrange a vase of daisies. This is the perfect way to say “Goodbye winter, hello spring!”

Berry
Something you can’t easily get away with in winter is this pop of color. Adding pink berry pillows and floral paintings says you’re excited about warmer weather and aren’t afraid to commit to redecorating.

Iced Coffee
Sounds refreshing, doesn’t it? Staying neutral in your home is subtle, yet can help you achieve a summer boardwalk theme. It can also make your home feel bright and airy.

Sky
Not too bright or vibrant, but still a springtime statement. Switch up the paint in your bathroom or guest room and tie it with geometrical patterns and cream-colored drapes. This will instantly boost your mood and have your guests talking!

Coral
This shade is ideal for anyone who wants to add a little beach flare to their home. Pair coral pillows with turquoise table lamps in the bedroom to pair two perfect complementary colors for the season. 

At Copper Square, we offer luxurious townhomes you can decorate to echo the changing seasons. Need a little help getting started? For more home decorating tips, connect with us on Facebook and Twitter.

Benefits of Moving to a Duplex

Seeking a fresh start? Moving out of a house you’ve been living in for years can seem like a scary step. That is, unless you have something new to look forward to. Many homeowners whose children have left the nest might hesitate to move into a new situation, but if you choose a duplex we promise you it’s all worth it. Here’s why:

Low maintenance
Imagine having spacious outdoor living without needing to trim the lawn or shovel the snow. Sounds too good to be true, right? Well, at complexes like Copper Square we take care of everything for you so you don’t have to! This means you have more time for you and less time stressing or straining your body to get your outdoor space in tip top shape!

Community
Part of living in a duplex means having the opportunity to connect with neighbors. That’s because duplexes often come with other amenities, such as coffee shops, fitness centers, bars, outdoor pools, lounges, and more. Although living in a house has its perks, moving to a duplex means you get the best of both worlds - you still get to keep your ownership pride but also have the chance to surround yourself with more friendships and activities. In other words, you’re alone when you want to be, and close to others when you prefer.

Convenience
Sometimes walking up and down a flight of steps can be exhausting. When you choose a duplex at Copper Square, you will find your very own luxurious master bedroom on the first floor. But don’t let that fool you - there are other levels in your home for additional space. So you see, you’re not downsizing after all - just finding a new lifestyle that fits your needs!

If a duplex sounds like the right type of home for you, come check out the beautiful and luxurious duplexes we offer at Copper Square! We are located in the heart of a growing community in Bethel CT.

Why You Should Start House Hunting Now

You start picturing your dream home, but then something holds you back. Whether it’s timing or finances, feeling uncertain about buying a home is normal. But here are four reasons you should bite the bullet and search for an investment now before it’s too late:

Better weather for searching
Everyone knows that spring and summer means better weather for house hunting, so why miss out? With warmer weather ahead, take advantage of sunny afternoons by checking out new properties - you’ll gain a much better perspective than you might during colder, more gloomy months.

Interest rates are still low
We’re well into 2016 and believe it or not, interest rates are still at an ultimate low. With interest rates being low, you’re likely to be able to afford the home you’ve been dreaming of. Plus, you might still have leftover money you can put towards other investments aside from your new home. But if you miss this window of opportunity, interest rates might unpredictably rise again.

Enjoy outdoor living
One of several downfalls about moving in winter is not being able to take advantage of your outdoor living space. So search for a home now, and you’ll be able to move in at your most desired timeframe - just in time for spring and summer, when you can enjoy beautiful outdoor amenities and yard space.

You're ready
The top reason you should start hunting for a new home now? You’re ready. Everything in your life seems to fall in place at this moment - your job, finances, relationship status, and family situation. If you feel secure about investing in a home and sleep on it week after week, then now is the time.

What are you waiting for? Come check out the beautiful and luxurious townhomes we offer at Copper Square! We are located in Bethel CT, which offers an ideal mix of New England charm and urban convenience.

Decorating Your Home for Spring 2016

The first day of spring is finally approaching - the perfect time to freshen up your home. Spring is all about blooming flowers and bright colors. Here are a few ways to incorporate these elements and turn your living space into a breath a fresh air:

Nature

Plantlife - From lilacs to sunflowers, there are many flowers that can make your home smell like spring. Or better yet, create a fresh display in a glass terrarium, which come in many shapes and sizes. Hang from your ceiling or place on a coffee table along with other small vases to create a true summer vibe.

Birdbath - Nothing says springtime more than a birdbath. Most people think that birdbaths are meant to be outside, but why not create a mock birdbath for inside the home as well? A birdbath filled with flowering bulbs and moss is the perfect way to create a mini garden for your living room or office.

Artwork

Chalkboard - Who doesn’t love a message board where you can customize notes and set reminders for yourself? Or how about using one as a countdown to spring and summer? Hang a chalkboard on your kitchen wall and write “Happy Spring” or “Countdown to Summer” - you’ll feel like a kid again.

Floral paint -  Create simple artwork to brighten up your walls by using floral stencils or trying by freehand! This is a simple and inexpensive way to welcome spring into your home and add a personal touch. 

Color

Yellow - Adding touches of yellow in your home is like adding a hint of sunshine. Sunflowers and Canary yellow pillows can instantly brighten up your living space and is easy to swap out.  

Violet - Another way you can switch up the color palette in your home is to add soft violet accents. Start with your window treatments or dining room chair cushions. You can also tie in fresh violets for a fresh springtime aroma.

When to Downsize Your Home

Whether you’re looking to save up on money or invest in a new, cozy residence, it might be time to downsize to a townhome. People often mistake downsizing for downgrading, but in reality, it’s the complete opposite. Downsizing can be a smart move for many reasons including the following:

Life events - There are many milestones in life that make downsizing a good idea. For example, if your kids have recently left the nest, you might be in search of a new, luxurious lifestyle that fits the size of your new family and budget. When you invest in a new home, like a townhouse or duplex, you can have the best of both worlds as you transition into your new lifestyle!

Better cost - As we mentioned earlier, downsizing often comes with a lower price tag than you had before. But don’t let that fool you - a better cost doesn’t mean less luxury or convenience. In fact, townhomes offer beautiful living spaces as well as all the amenities and professional maintenance you need to feel like you're completely in your element.

Ideal community - If you’re looking for urban convenience and proximity to fine dining and entertainment, then you’ll want to downsize to a home located close to shopping and restaurants. At Copper Square, we offer townhomes that are located close to everything you could need in the Danbury area.

If downsizing to a townhome sounds like the perfect living solution for you, come check out Copper Square. We offer luxurious townhomes and duplexes, located in the heart of Bethel, CT - a growing community that offers New England charm and urban convenience! Visit our gallery »
