So I'm looking for a place to move...

[From The Ashes]

...I found some places here in SA that bill themselves as 'Apartment Homes'. I'm thinking...'Apartment Homes? Isn't that redundant?' :wtf:

Have you heard of this thing? Or is it a product of this area? :shrug:

1. I hear it in Oregon. I doubt it is a South America thing.

I don't see the problem with calling an apartment a "home".

[From The Ashes]

2. Sorry...

SA stands for San Antonio. I don't have a problem calling an apartment a home either. I find 'Apartment homes' to be as redundant as saying 'I'm going to drink some wet water.'

3. My dear From The Ashes!

Sounds interesting...

Go check them out and see what it's all about!

And then let us know, OK?

I've never heard of that either...

Happy New Year, sweetie!

:hug:

6. Peggy!

Happy New Year to you too! :hug: I'm about to start Apt hunting, so I'll likely be able to tell you all about it very soon.

4. That is how apartments are marketed here too.

Orange County California.

7. Hi Kitchy!

Happy New Year! :hi:

I thought that I had slipped into a parallel dimension or something. :wtf:

[AlCzervik]

5. it's a marketing technique, "its not just an apartment, it's a home!" like picture the white picket

fence and all.

[From The Ashes]

8. That explains it...

I still think it's redundant. :shrug:

On edit...1000 posts! Finally!!

[KitchenWitch]

9. Do they have the sign, "If you lived here you would be home by now" ?

:crazy:

[From The Ashes]

10. Something like that...

I'm sure...:crazy:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Congrats on your 1000 posts!

You did that quickly, sweetie!

Here's to many, many more...

:hug:

[From The Ashes]

13. Thanks...

...didn't take as long as the last time, let me tell you...I was actually shy back then. Can you believe that? :crazy:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

15. You have shed many things. sweetie!

Not being shy is a good thing!

:hug:

12. San Antonio has a lot of apartment homes

It distinguishes them from home homes

[From The Ashes]

14. Looking at all those 'apartment homes' has made me thirsty...

...I need a glass of wet water. Be right back!

16. It 's becoming common realtorspeak.

Cuz apartments are just apartments, but a home is so much better. It's in line with "town home" for townhouse. Believe it or not, some places advertise "condo homes" too.

[From The Ashes]

17. Hi Gormy...

it may be common, but it's grammatically irritating. :hi:

[Gormy Cuss]

18. Absolutely agree.

The important thing is that once you find an apartment, you can call it anything you please.
:hi:

19. Sounds like a trixy way to make an apt seem condominiumy

I dunno, but I bet it's just new words for "apartment."
