With the change in seasons bringing beautiful foliage and all things pumpkin, it’s no wonder many people count the fall season as their favorite season. As part of apartment living at The Retreat, there are plenty of great ways to make the most of this time of year. And best of all, when you support local, the entire community benefits.

Favorite Fall Community Spots

Enjoy the crisp fresh air and stunning colors of the changing foliage at one of Reno’s many parks, along the shores of Lake Tahoe or at the picturesque conservation site of Oxbow Nature Study Area, and be sure to stick around into the evening to enjoy Reno’s colorful sunsets. Dog owners will love the dog-friendly Rancho San Rafael, with its wide 13 acres of land and paved, tree-lined walkways.

Relax with an outdoor movie at Flicks on the Bricks, located in the Reno Riverwalk District in Wingfield Park. While you watch, enjoy food and drinks, including cocktails and mocktails, at the nearby Sierra Tap House Beer Garden. Flicks on the Bricks is held monthly from August through October.

Enjoying the Neighborhood This Fall

For the perfect costume for Halloween parties, visit Junkee, located at Reno Public Market. The store also offers plenty of others items, such as antiques. They recently opened a second location called Uncle Junkee in downtown Reno, and if you’re doing some cleaning and looking to free up some extra space and earn some cash at the same time, Junkee buys items daily from 12-4 p.m.

For many, this fall season of pumpkin patches and hot apple cider is a beloved favorite. Because apartment living often goes hand in hand with community living, that means there’s plenty to enjoy as the weather gets cooler and we move from summer into autumn. Make the most of your community this autumn an support local, from shopping to quintessential fall activities.
