Yes, in addition to more traditional amenities like a pool and dog park, Stone Canyon Apartments has a pokestop and gym for players to battle nearby.

“We just thought it was a genius marketing idea,” said Stone Canyon Apartments Community Manager Rosio Rangel. “We noticed people from Planet Fitness coming across the street and hanging out. Probably like 20 or 25 in a day.”

Rangel did not say whether the strategy has yet yielded results, nor which Pokemon appear in the area. Some enterprising renter should get on that and report back to me.
