A new year means new apartment essentials you'll need in 2024. I would call myself an apartment expert. I have loved living in Austin and have even resided in three awesome Camden communities, including Camden Amber Oaks, Camden Lamar Heights, and Camden Huntingdon. So, trust me when I say I have learned what is needed to enhance your apartment living experience and what is not. So, here are my four favorite apartment essentials you'll need in 2024! 

1. The Irobot Roomba is a perfect helper for carpet and non-carpet flooring. The Roomba adjusts to your apartment swiftly, cleaning up dirt, dust, and pet hair. Camden Lamar Heights offers hardwood-style flooring in living areas with carpeted bedrooms in every floor plan. 

2. The following product is a must for your apartment. The Vankyo mini projector is an ideal replacement for the standard TV. It doesn't take up space and is portable. I enjoyed entertaining family and friends with how easy it is to adjust the projector in any room in my apartment home. 

3. All pet owners should have the Blink mini indoor camera. This camera looks sleek and inconspicuous in any space. The Blink allows you to observe and check on your pet throughout the day. Since pets are welcome at most Camden apartment communities, we think you'll love this one! 

4. An essential part of your apartment is the decor. To me, plants are the best kind of decoration. To my misfortune, I do not have a green thumb, but I have found artificial plants can also do the trick. Ikea offers a great variety of artificial plants that look just as good as the real deal. And they're super inexpensive! A must-have, in my opinion.

These four apartment essentials are a great way to begin the new year. The Irobot Roomba, Vankyo mini projector, Blink mini indoor camera, and some plants (real or not!) can make all the difference in your apartment. With these items, you'll have a clean, cozy, entertaining space to call home. Remember to check out Camden's locations for pet-friendly apartment options. Here's to a happy and comfortable new year in your apartment!

Throughout the year, there are sure to be new items or trends that land on your favorite's list for apartment-friendly living. Follow the Simply Camden blog for more apartment living essentials and hacks all year long!
