The Satori Blog

Everyone knows that apartment rental searches are all about location, location, location. One bonus of leasing with Satori is that your Ft. Lauderdale apartment puts you in the midst of great dining and activities, providing you with more than just a place to live-it's a complete lifestyle. In honor of the Zen lifestyle at Satori, this week we're turning our sights to the Far East (well, technically a half mile northwest) to a popular local restaurant called Galanga Thai Kitchen and Sushi Bar.

Boasting an elegant backdrop of themed Thai décor, Galanga is the perfect place to go for a relaxing evening; the ambience is especially ideal for dates or any guests you seek to impress. Even the choosiest palates will be satisfied by Galanga's medley of classic and contemporary Asian tastes, complemented by an extensive wine and sake menu. Artfully arranged meals are served by Galanga's friendly and courteous staff, which adds the finishing touch to a flawless dining experience. Popular menu items include the Ceviche appetizer, anything from the Sushi Bar for a light and healthy lunch, or the traditional Pad Thai for dinner. For dessert, sample Tempura Cheesecake with strawberry sauce at the very wallet-friendly price of $7.00. Galanga offers delivery, catering and even reservations for private parties.

For two consecutive years, Galanga has been rated Extraordinary and "Zen-like" by Zagat. Other accolades include being called Where to Eat in Wilton Manors by The Washington Post and being ascribed with a "cool, cosmopolitan vibe" by Metromix.com. Galanga Thai Kitchen and Sushi Bar has also been noticed as a gay-friendly Ft. Lauderdale restaurant by PlanetOut.com, which recommends Galanga as a hotspot for dates with a "lovely romantic outdoor patio."

There are enough things to worry about in life without worrying about the unknowns of moving into a new neighborhood, surrounded by new people. Meeting your neighbors and joining community activities should be a fun and rewarding experience for new tenants. But when you rent from a private owner, there's no way of knowing who your neighbors are, which is a scary liability for you and your property. When you lease with Satori, you can rest easy knowing that Altman has already looked into each of your neighbors and found them qualified to join the secure Satori community.

The first step to guaranteeing your utmost comfort and security is the extensive background check that Altman performs on all of its leasing candidates. We want you to know that we go to great lengths to ensure that your community is wholesome and sound. We also perform standard credit checks in which we evaluate a prospective renter's history, and get to know them a little bit more. And when we approve tenants, those who will be your neighbors and part of the greater residential apartment community, we do so with you in mind. So you can rest assured that you and your family are in good company at Satori, our premier downtown Ft. Lauderdale apartment community.

Altman has over 40 years' experience in the field of apartment rentals, and we are always devoted to keeping our tenants safe. At Satori, we strive to promote a feeling of security and relaxation for when you're spending time at the clubhouse, the pool, the spa or any of our other enjoyable community areas. After all, it's hard to get into a Zen frame of mind when you're worried about, well, anything. So let us free some stress from your mind and help you enjoy a breezy, carefree Floridian lifestyle.
