While there are dozens of benefits to living at our apartments at The Quarters, one often overlooked but wonderful advantage has to be the unobstructed view of the heavens our residents get virtually every night. For most of the year, Florida nights are pleasant enough to enjoy outdoors, and if you have an interest in looking at stars, you can do so right at our community. While you may even be able to see some stars from your apartment home’s window, the best way to properly stargaze is to get as clear a view as possible, which means taking a step outdoors.
However, in order to get the fullest stargazing experience possible, consider these simple tips:
-
Bring something to enhance your view of the stars. Basic binoculars or telescopes can be had for relatively little cost and can greatly enhance your experience. Buying higher-quality models might be a good idea if you intend to make stargazing a hobby or regular occurrence.
-
Keep track of rare upcoming events, such as passing comets or meteor showers, and make plans to observe them with the proper equipment.
-
Bring a book (or consult a website) about astronomy that can help you find constellations in the night sky and guide you on where to look depending on the time of year.
-
Bring a blanket to so that you have a comfortable place to sit or recline, and bring snacks for you to munch on as you gaze at the rest of the galaxy.
-
Finally, bring a friend or loved one to share everything you discover when you go stargazing.
Once you’re done looking at distant stars, you can retire to the comfort of your spacious Lady Lake apartment at The Quarters.

If you pay our leasing office a visit, we’d be delighted to give you a personal tour of our community.
