Life @ Trillium

February 5^th is an important day for football fans. It’s the game play that sports fans have been waiting for all season long. SuperBowl XLVI will host the New York Giants and New England Patriots in Indianapolis at Lucas Bowl Oil at 6:30 ET on NBC. Who will win SuperBowl XLVI is the question on everyone’s mind but what you should be asking even before that is: Who’s hosting the SuperBowl party?

If the answer is you then best of luck! From cleaning the house to preparing the meals, the SuperBowl can seem like a lot of work for just one day but we all know it’s something worth doing in the end. That’s why we’ve come up of a list of Superbowl recipes so you won’t need luck, just these recipes!

When any type of holiday comes around I always miss home. Why wouldn’t I though? I come from a rock in the middle of the deep blue sea that’s covered with sandy beaches, swaying palm trees, tropical breezes, the summer season is all year round, and the spirit of aloha is never hard to find. If you guessed I’m from Hawaii, you’re correct. Of course, I miss my family and friends the most, but what I miss second to them is the crazy amount of delicious food we have there. The pork’s sweet, the mango’s come pickled, rice is a vegetable, poi is the state food, pigs are cooked underground, and Spam is meat! Darn, now I’m hungry and missing home at the same time!

On a holiday weekend like July 4^th, you’d probably find us locals on the Continue reading

It’s going to be a HOT summer here in Phoenix, Arizona, and there is no better way to spend a scorching summer evening then lounging in the pool (believe me, we know!). So, we’ve started Dive In Movies at Trillium this June (and all summer long). Last night marked the first event at Trillium Deer Valley, our North Phoenix apartment community located at 7th street & the 101.

The pool was packed when more than 60 residents (and lots of little ones) showed up to relax at the pool to watch the new version of Alice in Wonderland, which was just released on DVD this past week. Trillium provided free hots dogs, soda, chips and candy to all movie-goers.

Dive In Movies will be featured once a month at Trillium Cave Creek, Trillium Deer Valley, Trillium Papago and Trillium Pinnacle Peak throughout the summer. Be sure to check out the monthly event calendars so you don’t miss the date and time of the movie at your Phoenix apartment community!

Love baseball? You’re in luck! Trillium residents can now get discount Arizona Diamondback’s baseball tickets! We’ve worked out a deal with the AZ D-backs to bring you the best deals, so you can enjoy baseball all season long. Check the website here for more info on how you can score tickets just just for living at one of Trillium’s Phoenix apartment communities.

We chatted with Lacey Benz and Steve Zimmerman, the lucky winners of the Trillium Phoenix apartment free rent for one year contest. Here’s what they had to say about their experience throughout the contest, getting votes, and how they’ll spend all the money they will save on rent for the next year.

Lacey & Steve are getting married soon and have chosen to live at Trillium Pinnacle Peak, Trillium’s newest luxury apartment community located at the I-17 and Pinnacle Peak Road in Phoenix, Arizona. Trillium Pinnacle Peak features a gorgeous resort-style pool, in-house spa for massages and facials, an interactive water park for kids (and adults, from time-to-time!), a 27-seat Trillium Cinema, a Great Room filled with fun activities like pool tournaments, Studio Dining, game nights and much, much more!
