Once you have lived in a luxury apartment, you won't ever want to go back to another way of living. With freedom from home maintenance chores (beyond the usual daily cleaning tasks) and access to a wide variety of amenities, including jogging paths, indoor gyms, and secure parking spots, luxury apartments elevate their tenants' standard of living. If you need to find a new luxury apartment for any reason, you have the perfect opportunity to upgrade your living experience further. As you look for the ideal apartment, look beyond complex-wide amenities, and pay attention to the following features of the apartment itself.
Pre-Installed Smart Home System
Smart home systems are revolutionizing the way people interact with almost every system in their homes. With a great smart home system, daily tasks like turning on the lights, playing music, locking doors, greeting visitors, and adjusting the thermostat can all be done with voice commands or a mobile phone app. Although some of these systems can be installed in apartments with unobtrusive changes like lightbulb upgrades and countertop smart home hubs, some of them require more extensive installation techniques.
For example, if you want to be able to greet people at your door without opening it, you will need to install some kind of smart doorbell system. Many apartment complexes don't allow tenants to make such significant modifications to their apartments, so if you want to enjoy the full smart home experience, you should find an apartment that already has these amenities.
High-End Fixtures And Finishes
One of the best parts of living in a luxury apartment is living in a beautiful, functional space. Every fixture and finish should achieve the perfect balance between form and function. As you look at pictures of potential apartments or take walkthrough apartment tours, pay attention to the brands of the fixtures installed in the kitchen and bathrooms. Ideally, you should see high-end brands that you recognize easily as you inspect toilets, faucets, and kitchen appliances. The finishes won't have brand labels, but you should be able to determine their quality based on how they look and feel.
Efficiency Upgrades
Luxury apartments often focus on providing extravagant living experiences, but some don't sacrifice practicality to achieve this goal. As a tenant, you will have to pay for the utilities you use, including electricity, water, and gas. Apartments with efficiency upgrades like radiant heating, high-quality windows, and smart thermostats help tenants feel comfortable throughout the year without spending a lot of money on utilities or dramatically increasing their carbon footprint. Make sure to ask apartment managers about their building's efficiency and the measures they have taken to prevent energy wastage.
