Make entertainment your end-of-summer theme
August in Glendale calls for a different kind of summer fun. Instead of building your weekend around hours under the Arizona sun, take the party indoors and discover everything waiting around Zone Westgate. Spend your morning relaxing at home, fit in a workout, challenge friends to a game, or head out for shopping, dining, movies, and live entertainment around Westgate. With so much happening nearby, the final weeks of summer can feel packed with possibilities without requiring another road trip or a day spent battling triple-digit temperatures.
Give yourself a reason to stay home
Start your weekend without rushing anywhere. Zone Westgate offers one- and two-bedroom apartment homes with elevated finishes that give you an inviting setting for an August day indoors.
Prepare brunch surrounded by marble-style quartz countertops, designer cabinetry, and Café Series stainless steel appliances. Sound-resistant wood-style flooring adds a polished finish throughout the home, while oversized closets provide plenty of storage.
When it's time to recharge, rainfall showerheads and backlit LED mirrors can make your everyday routine feel a little more indulgent. Smart home technology adds another modern touch to select features throughout your residence.
Turn on a movie, try a new recipe, invite friends over, or make absolutely no plans at all. When Glendale heats up, enjoying your apartment can be the main event.
Bring on a little friendly competition
Ready to leave your apartment without heading into the heat? Make the community's indoor entertainment spaces part of your afternoon.
Grab your favorite people and turn an ordinary weekend into game day. Challenge each other to a round of billiards, keep score, and see who earns bragging rights until the next rematch.
The resident clubhouse provides another place to change up your surroundings and spend time away from your apartment. Grab a coffee from the beverage station, settle in, and enjoy an afternoon that doesn't require reservations or a drive across town.
You can also keep an eye on Zone Westgate's resident events. A community gathering gives you another way to add something different to your plans while staying close to home.
Give your routine some new energy
The end of summer doesn't have to mean putting your wellness goals on hold. Zone Westgate's fitness amenities give you an indoor alternative when exercising outside isn't appealing.
Make a morning workout part of your weekend before settling in for a relaxing afternoon. You can also head to the fitness center after work when you're ready to switch gears and clear your head.
Free weights and additional fitness equipment give you options to change up your usual routine. Try something new now and carry the habit into fall.
Make movie night bigger
When August temperatures peak, a movie theater might be one of the best places to spend an afternoon. Head over to AMC Westgate 20 and turn a new release into the centerpiece of your day.
Go all in with popcorn and your favorite movie snacks, then keep the evening going with dinner nearby. You can even make it a recurring summer tradition and catch another movie the following weekend.
If you're staying home instead, create your own movie marathon from your apartment. Pick a theme, order dinner, invite some friends, and settle in for an easy night with plenty of air conditioning.
Let Westgate plan the rest of your weekend
One of Zone Westgate's biggest advantages is right there in the name. Westgate Entertainment District gives you dining, shopping, movies, events, and entertainment nearby, making it easy to create a different itinerary whenever you're ready to get out.
Plan dinner with friends and try somewhere new. Browse the shops. Catch a movie. Check the event schedule at Desert Diamond Arena. Or see what's happening at State Farm Stadium and turn a major event into your weekend highlight.
You can also head to Tanger Outlets Phoenix when you're in the mood for an air-conditioned shopping afternoon. Browse your favorite stores, update your fall wardrobe, grab something to eat, and head home when you're ready to recharge.
With so many destinations concentrated around the Westgate area, you don't have to spend your entire day driving around the Valley just to find something fun to do.
Turn dinner into the event
Some summer evenings don't need anything more complicated than a great meal. Westgate gives you plenty of opportunities to make dinner the main attraction.
Gather your friends and try a restaurant you've had on your list. Follow dinner with dessert or a movie, or head over to an event happening nearby.
You can also take the opposite approach and bring dinner home. Pick up takeout from a nearby restaurant, put on your favorite playlist, and enjoy an easy night from your own apartment.
Either way, you can make your summer weekend feel different without planning an elaborate getaway.
Send summer out with some excitement
The final weeks of summer don't have to be a countdown to cooler weather. Make August its own kind of season instead.
Host a movie marathon. Challenge your friends to billiards. Try a new workout. Grab a coffee in the clubhouse. Go shopping. Catch a new release. Try a different restaurant. Attend an event at Desert Diamond Arena or State Farm Stadium. Then head home, cool down, and decide what you'll do next weekend.
At Zone Westgate, your summer finale can be all about good food, entertainment, and finding new ways to enjoy Glendale while staying comfortably out of the August heat.
