]]> October has arrived, bringing cooler evenings, pumpkins and plenty of reasons to get into the Halloween spirit.

CSUN will host its annual Pumpkin Fest on October 28, with Matador Square transformed into a pumpkin patch and fall-themed activities for the campus community. Día de los Muertos programming follows on October 29.

Residents willing to venture farther into Los Angeles can find everything from haunted attractions and horror screenings to family-friendly Halloween activities throughout the month.

Prefer staying home? October is perfect for an apartment movie marathon, pumpkin decorating or inviting a few friends over for Halloween treats.

One of the best things about living in the San Fernando Valley is having both neighborhood activities and major Los Angeles attractions within reach.

Happy Halloween from Park Merridy!

]]> Fall is officially underway in Northridge. With CSUN’s fall semester in session and families throughout the Valley returning to their school-year schedules, September is all about getting back into a routine. CSUN weekday classes began August 24 this year.

For Park Merridy residents, this is a great month to give your everyday routine a refresh.

Create a dedicated homework or work-from-home space, clean out the refrigerator for easier weekday meals and organize the spots in your apartment that collected a little too much summer clutter.

Living in Northridge also means having access to plenty of places to grab coffee, pick up groceries, enjoy dinner or take a break when the workday or school day is over.

You don’t have to be a student to appreciate that back-to-school feeling. A new season can be the perfect reason to reset your goals, your schedule and your home.

Park Merridy wishes all of our Northridge neighbors a successful start to fall!
