Location 

They say location is everything for a reason. When choosing your apartment, have you considered the convenience of living next to a train station? Is your regular commute to work or school a top priority? Imagine having entertainment venues, restaurants, and parks just a stone's throw away. The right location can greatly enhance your day-to-day life, providing easy access to necessities and enjoyable experiences. 

 

Social areas  

In an apartment building, communal spaces such as BBQ areas, playgrounds, and courtyards are not just fun; they're great for making friends and feeling part of the community. They also serve as an extra hangout spot outside of your home.

Gym  

 Having a gym right in your building simplifies your daily fitness routine, saving you a trip to an outside gym for your workouts. 

 

Swimming pool  

On a scorching summer’s day, having access to a pool makes all the difference. Swimming also promotes wellbeing, fun, and relaxation, alongside creating a sense of resort-style living within the complex.  

 

Co-working space 

Having a small business hub right in your apartment building is a game-changer. With rentable rooms and high-speed internet, you've got a fresh new workspace on the days you work from home. 

 

Outdoor space 

Whether you have a balcony or a ground-floor courtyard, a touch of private outdoor space significantly enhances your overall wellbeing. It not only expands your living area, but also provides an opportunity for fresh air and sunlight. And if you own pets, they will love the extra space. 

 

Smart storage 

Even those living minimalist lifestyles need ample storage space. Look for apartments with built-in (or walk-in) wardrobes, laundry cupboards, and plenty of pantry space. Built-in storage also saves you from needing to purchase furniture or shelving. 

 

Kitchen essentials 

In your hunt for the perfect apartment kitchen, keep your eyes peeled for a quality oven and stovetop, a dishwasher, a built-in microwave, well-planned and designed cabinetry, and generous bench space for preparing meals and entertaining.
