Veranda

Living within the protective cocoon of the Mariposa Apartments not only offers peace of mind when it comes to security, thanks to its presence as a gated community, but also simple peace that's provided by the serene surroundings.

Of course, there's plenty available around the complex for residents, with a swimming pool that will help any individual cool off on those hot summer days. In addition, a fitness center provides a viable outlet for those looking to maintain their good health, especially considering it offers equipment for use that remains the envy of any health club.

Those with pets need not worry that they'll be excluded from consideration, since the facility is pet friendly. It also offers assigned covered parking for resident vehicles to combat the torrid Texas sun. There's also a barbecue grill available for those times when a little celebrating is in order or a laundry room for those more mundane tasks that are a part of everyday life.

The apartments themselves at the Mariposa offer a variety of features, including built-in bookshelves, expansive closets as well as hardwood flooring. For families, it's part of the highly regarded school district of Alamo Heights.
