October in Rexburg is a magical time. The air gets crisp, the leaves turn golden, and the entire community embraces the fun of the season. Whether you’re looking for family activities, student-friendly outings, or cozy weekend plans, Rexburg has something for everyone—and living at Eden Apartments means you’re close to it all.
Pumpkin Patches & Corn Mazes
A fall staple, local pumpkin patches and corn mazes are a must-do. The Straw Maze is a Rexburg favorite, offering both family-friendly fun during the day and a haunted version at night for thrill seekers. Don’t forget to pick up a pumpkin (or two) to carve at home.
Haunted Attractions
For those who love a good scare, haunted houses pop up across Eastern Idaho in October. The Haunted Straw Maze and other haunted barns in nearby towns make for a perfect weekend adventure with friends.
Outdoor Adventures
The cooler weather makes this the perfect time for hiking, biking, or simply walking through Rexburg Nature Park. For a quick getaway, Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park are breathtaking in the fall—without the heavy summer crowds.
Campus & Community Events
BYU–Idaho often hosts concerts, plays, and seasonal gatherings. Keep an eye on the campus calendar for performances, art shows, and even holiday markets.
Living at Eden Apartments means you’re in the heart of Rexburg. Fall is the perfect season to explore, create memories, and then come home to a cozy apartment just minutes away
Autumn is here! The leaves are turning, the air is crisp, and the days are getting shorter. For many of us, busy work schedules and late nights can make it feel like fall is slipping by before we even get a chance to enjoy it. But even with shorter days and cooler evenings, there are plenty of ways to soak up the season right here at Eden Apartments.
Chilly evenings are the perfect excuse to relax in one of our hot tubs. There’s nothing like letting the warm water melt away the stress of the day while watching the stars appear in the autumn sky. For those who prefer a cozy indoor escape, the clubhouse fireplace is waiting. Grab a blanket and a cup of cocoa, and challenge a friend or neighbor to a board game or card tournament. It’s a simple way to unwind, connect, and embrace the season without ever leaving the community.
Even with shorter days, staying active is easy. Our gym is open whenever you need it, whether you prefer a morning stretch before work or a post-work workout to shake off the day. And if evenings feel too short to enjoy the outdoors, mornings can be your secret escape. Take a quick walk around the property, sip your coffee outside, and soak in the golden leaves and crisp autumn air.
Of course, you can also bring fall inside. Decorating your apartment with mini pumpkins, cozy throws, or seasonal flowers can make every evening feel warm and inviting, even after the sun goes down. Weekends offer a perfect opportunity to dive into the full spirit of autumn. Pumpkin patch visits, scenic walks, or a movie night in the clubhouse are simple ways to make the most of the season and carry that autumn vibe into the week ahead.
Shorter days aren’t a setback—they’re an invitation. An invitation to slow down, cozy up, and enjoy the season with friends, fun, and a little bit of fall magic. At Eden Apartments, there’s always a way to turn chilly, dark evenings into something warm, memorable, and full of autumn spirit.
Let’s be real—East Idaho in June is peak vibes.
The sun is finally showing up on time, the snow’s gone (for real this time), and we’ve all collectively agreed it’s time to go outside and live our best lives. Whether you’re into local eats, camping with friends, or pretending you're in a nature documentary while hiking through jaw-dropping views—East Idaho is the place to be this month.
🥕 Local Farmers Markets: Where Your Produce Has a Personality
You haven’t lived until you’ve had a sun-warmed strawberry from a local stand or a fresh loaf of sourdough that smells like heaven itself. June is when East Idaho’s farmers markets really come to life, and trust us—you’ll want to bring a tote bag.
Idaho Falls Farmers Market – Fresh veggies, homemade jams, live music, and more sourdough than you can carry. 10/10 weekend activity.
Rexburg Farmers Market – It’s small but mighty. Think fresh produce, baked goods, and the most wholesome vibes around.
Pocatello Farmers Market – Local honey, handcrafted goods, and that magical feeling of community you only get from Saturday mornings downtown.
Support local, eat well, and maybe pick up a potted herb you’ll probably forget to water (we believe in you).
⛺️ Hiking + Camping: Because Your Tent Misses You
June is chef’s kiss for getting outside. The trails are open, the mosquitoes aren’t too rude yet, and the campgrounds are calling your name.
Island Park – Cool nights, big pines, and easy access to lakes and rivers. It’s a camper’s dream.
Targhee National Forest – Wildlife, waterfalls, and trails for all levels. Also, yes, it’s that gorgeous in real life.
Craters of the Moon – Want to feel like you landed on Mars? Hike this surreal volcanic terrain and flex your “I survived the lava fields” selfies.
The Tetons (nearby and worth it) – Not technically East Idaho, but close enough. Majestic mountains, alpine lakes, and trails that will take your breath away—literally.
Don’t forget the s’mores. Always pack the s’mores.
🌄 Scenic Views: The Kinda Pretty That Makes You Pull Over
East Idaho is full of “is this a postcard?” moments. Whether you're snapping pics or just soaking it all in, here are a few spots where the views really show off:
Bear Lake – Blue. So blue. Ridiculously blue. You won’t believe it until you see it.
Shoshone Falls – It’s taller than Niagara and wildly underrated. June is the perfect time to catch it at full flow.
Sawtooth Mountains – Epic peaks, crystal-clear lakes, and trails for days. It’s giving mountain main character energy.
South Fork Snake River – Peaceful, stunning, and great for a float or fishing day. Bonus points if you spot an eagle.
Long story short—East Idaho in June is basically your summer bucket list wrapped in pine trees and sunshine. Hit a market, hike a trail, pitch a tent, and stare at some scenery that makes you say “whoa” out loud. Just don’t forget the sunscreen and bug spray (spoken from experience).
Happy adventuring! 🏕️🍓🌲

Upper Mesa Falls
Spring brings sunshine, flowers, and—let’s be honest—a lot of online shopping. With more deliveries on the way, it’s a good time to review a few package delivery tips to keep things smooth and stress-free at Eden Apartments.
Where Your Mail Goes
All standard mail is delivered by USPS directly to your assigned mailbox in the clubhouse mailroom. When you move in, you're given two mail keys to access your box. If you're having trouble with your keys or need a replacement, stop by the leasing office and we’ll be happy to help.
Please remember: the mailboxes and parcel lockers are property of the U.S. Postal Service. This means USPS manages delivery and access—so if there are issues with your package or a misdelivered letter, you’ll want to reach out directly to your local post office.
What Are Parcel Lockers?
Parcel lockers are extra-secure mailboxes designed for packages that are too big to fit in your standard mailbox. If USPS delivers a package that doesn’t fit in your mailbox, they’ll place it in a parcel locker and leave a special key in your box. That key will open the parcel locker holding your package.
Larger Packages? Delivered to Your Door
If a package is too large for even the parcel locker, or if it’s being shipped through FedEx, UPS, or Amazon, it will be delivered directly to your apartment door. Be sure to include your apartment number on all deliveries so drivers can find you without delay.
Important Reminder: The Office Does Not Accept Packages
To keep everything organized and ensure your packages end up in your hands, please note that the leasing office does not accept or hold packages for residents. This includes mail, parcels, groceries, or other deliveries.
A Few Final Tips for Smooth Deliveries:
Always include your full name and apartment number when ordering.
Track your packages and collect them promptly after delivery.
Contact the delivery service directly if you’re missing a package—they can often provide photo confirmation or delivery updates.
Thanks for helping us keep the community running smoothly. Here’s to an organized, mix-up-free season of springtime deliveries!
DIY Apartment Decor: Budget-Friendly Ideas to Transform Your Space
Decorating an apartment can be both exciting and challenging, especially when working within a budget or dealing with rental restrictions. Fortunately, DIY decor allows you to personalize your space without spending a fortune. Whether you're looking to add color, texture, or personality to your apartment, here are some creative and budget-friendly DIY ideas to revamp your home.
1. Wall Art on a Budget
Instead of purchasing expensive artwork, create your own! Try these ideas:
Canvas Paintings : Use acrylic paint to create abstract art or minimalist designs.
Framed Fabric or Wallpaper : Wrap colorful fabric or leftover wallpaper around canvas frames for an instant statement piece.
Gallery Wall : Print out your favorite photos, quotes, or illustrations and arrange them in thrifted or DIY-painted frames.
2. Peel-and-Stick Magic
Peel-and-stick wallpapers and decals are a renter’s best friend. They come in various patterns and textures, are easy to apply, and can be removed without damage. Use them to create an accent wall, update kitchen backsplashes, or add charm to furniture.
3. DIY Floating Shelves
Floating shelves provide additional storage and display space. You can easily make your own by repurposing wooden planks and wall brackets. Use them for books, plants, or decorative objects to enhance your apartment’s aesthetic.
4. Handmade Throw Pillows
Sew or no-sew, handmade throw pillows are a great way to refresh your living room or bedroom. Pick fabrics that match your style, and use fabric glue or basic sewing skills to create unique pillow covers.
5. Upcycled Furniture
Give old furniture a new life with a bit of creativity:
Repaint or Stain : A fresh coat of paint or wood stain can completely transform dressers, chairs, or tables.
Decoupage Magic : Use Mod Podge to apply decorative paper or fabric to tabletops or drawer fronts.
New Hardware : Swapping out drawer handles or cabinet knobs is an easy upgrade.
6. DIY Plant Decor
Bring life into your apartment with greenery. Consider these DIY plant decor ideas:
Macramé Plant Hangers : A stylish way to hang your plants without taking up floor space.
Decorative Pots : Paint plain terra cotta pots or wrap them in fabric for a custom look.
Vertical Garden : Use wall-mounted planters to create a mini indoor garden.
7. Creative Room Dividers
If you're living in a studio or want to define different areas in your apartment, DIY room dividers can be both functional and stylish:
Curtain Partitions : Hang sheer or decorative curtains from a tension rod or ceiling-mounted track.
Bookshelf Divider : A tall bookshelf can double as a storage solution and a stylish room divider.
Folding Screens : Create a folding screen with wooden panels, fabric, or repurposed doors.
8. Personalized Entryway
Create a welcoming entryway with simple DIY additions:
Key Holder : Craft a key holder using reclaimed wood, hooks, or a small frame.
Shoe Rack : Use wooden crates stacked together for a functional shoe storage solution.
Welcome Sign : Paint a wooden board with a cheerful message for a warm touch.
9. Customized Rugs and Mats
If you can’t find the perfect rug, make one! Use fabric paint to design a plain rug or stencil patterns onto a basic doormat for a stylish entrance.
10. Mirror Makeover
Mirrors can make small spaces look bigger. Upgrade an old mirror by adding a painted frame, using rope for a coastal look, or attaching adhesive tiles for a chic effect.
Final Thoughts
DIY apartment decor is an affordable way to create a stylish and personalized home. With a little creativity and effort, you can transform your space into a cozy and aesthetically pleasing retreat—without breaking the bank. Happy decorating!
