In the United States there are many homeowners. However, there are also many individuals who rent places to reside. In fact, in the United States, 42.58 million housing units are for renters. Additionally, 25% of renters are renters by their own choosing. They prefer to live in apartments than to become homeowners. They are also proud of renting their apartments. With that said, it’s evident that renting apartments are becoming widespread. If you’re a renter, or planning on renting an apartment, there are some things you should look for.
To begin, for individuals who are wealthy or the wealthiest in America, luxury apartments are your appropriate trend, your go-to, your fit. Say so long to purchasing condominiums! Now, you’ve found the perfect luxury apartment for yourself or your family. What happens next? Before renting, it’s time to look for a few things first.
Amenities
Apartment amenities are features included in a building that you wouldn’t find everywhere (like in a home or condominium). The most common apartment amenities are fitness centers, business centers, balconies, laundry rooms, swimming pools, childcare centers, and community centers- just to name a few. In a survey, renters reported that they desired swimming pools and fitness centers in their apartment building. Therefore, the first thing to look for when renting a luxury apartment is amenities. Let’s discuss some of them.
Wellness Features
A fitness center is requested highly by many renters of luxury apartments. More specifically, a 24-hour fitness center has been commonly requested. However, not all fitness centers are the same. The fitness centers in luxury apartments should not be similar to gyms people would travel to. The fitness centers in luxury apartments should have the finest, state-of-the-art, clean equipment. There should be rooms for yoga classes and meditation. There should also be additional space for physical therapists and massage therapists. Look for the equipment and classes when you’re renting a luxury apartment.
Aside from the classes and specific rooms in fitness centers, there should also be additional features throughout the center. Many fitness centers in luxury apartments have customized circadian lighting throughout the entire center, so look for them. Additionally, many luxury apartments have air purification and water purification in their fitness centers. More importantly, luxury apartments have begun to specialize in wellness residences. This means that shower infusers are installed in the showers for those that utilize the fitness center’s swimming pool. Shower infusers reduce the dry skin you can receive from the pool’s chlorine. Infusers and purifications, combined with circadian lighting is beneficial to your mood and productivity. Look for all these features when you’re renting your luxury apartment.
Technology
Technological features are another amenity included in luxury apartments. Technology is important to everyone’s lives. However, the technology in luxury apartments go beyond WiFi connection and charging stations. The technology in luxury apartments is moving toward smart home type technology. With that said, luxury apartments are working toward allowing renters to control the lighting in their apartment, control the temperature within their apartment, and controlling their electronics (tablets and smartphones) when they’re not home. Look for these technological advancements when renting.
Niche Spaces For All Your Needs
The last amenity for luxury apartments is a custom niche. Custom, private niches in luxury apartments create intimacy for the renter. Additionally, these niches are tailored toward the renter’s lifestyle. With custom, private niches, the renter can form a connection with their apartment, much like an emotional one that would be formed in a home. In addition, some renters choose to transform their niches into a children’s playroom, or a hosting room (for dinner parties and private events). Look for niche spaces when renting your luxury apartment.
Amenities are not the only thing you should look for when renting a luxury apartment. Is your apartment one of the pet friendly apartments? If you are a pet owner, you should look for apartments that allow pets, especially if you’re a dog owner. Additionally, look for storage space. Whether it’s storage for your additional belongings or storage for your wine, storage space is important. Look for the space and research information on it as well.
