Amenities to Include When Designing Luxury Apartments

Luxury, hotel-style, and resort-style apartment communities are designed to appeal to residents who are looking for features often overlooked in traditional rental properties. These residents know that when they lease a luxury apartment, certain amenities are a given. You’ll begin with luxury-material countertops and fixtures throughout, premium flooring, and above-average floor plans. Patios and balconies are a requirement, and greenbelts and mature landscaping are more or less industry standards. Check out  for affordable apartments for rent in Nashville

Smart Home Gadgets

A luxury apartment in this day and age should feature the most modern technology available. This doesn’t just help the residents; it helps conserve energy and extend the life cycle of appliances and other furnishings. One of the popular technologies being used now includes a smart thermostat system. Google Nest is one of the most popular in this space, although there are others. A smart thermostat (also called a learning thermostat) can learn your schedule and adapt to it, maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing the utility bill. Smart thermostats can also be controlled using a mobile app even when the residents are away.

Other forms of technology being used at the moment include the voice control assistants. The common voice control assistants include Alexa or Google Home. Such forms of technology help control some of the apartment functions easily, such as turning lights on and off, setting alarms, and running timers.

Soundproof Walls

No one wants to live in a luxury apartment with paper-thin walls. Soundproofing comes in handy when the neighbors want to entertain or simply turn on their TV. Residents in a luxury apartment should be able to entertain without disturbing the neighbors. Soundproof walls are also more energy-efficient, creating a cozier living space in the winter and less strain on the air conditioning in the summer. 

Outdoor Amenities

A luxury apartment community should be attractive and unique. The residents should be proud to call it home. The grounds should be beautifully landscaped and meticulously maintained. Seating areas should be inviting and stylishly covered to protect from the sun. Ideal amenities on the grounds would include tennis court(s), heated swimming pool(s), spa, and smart lockers for secure parcel pick up after hours. A clubhouse is a necessity, too, and in addition to billiards and gaming tables, it should include a state-of-the-art conference room which residents can reserve to handle important meetings. We can’t forget a 24-hour fitness center, either. Busy executives like to work out at unusual hours and should be able to access gym equipment at a time that works with their schedule.

Security

Security in a luxury apartment should be conspicuous but cordial. Ideally, guests, delivery personnel, and all other non-residents should have to check in at a gate or desk before entering the grounds. Parking areas should be brightly lit and monitored both by live security staff and closed-circuit video surveillance. The residents should feel safe in their community; after all, luxury is as much about safety as it is convenience

Location

One must not overlook the luxury of location. A resort-style apartment community should be convenient to freeway access, and it is often a selling point to note the distance to upscale shopping, dining, and entertainment. A further location-related amenity is the distance to golf courses; many resort-style apartment residents and their guests are avid golfers.

Additional Amenities

A luxury apartment community should offer the fastest and most reliable high speed internet available. This may require advance planning with telecommunications providers. Door-to-door trash pickup is another popular luxury amenity. Residents should not have to haul their trash and recycling around.

Each unit should include a full-size washer and dryer, a pantry, a dishwasher, large closets, gas (or induction) cooktop, and state-of-the-art kitchen appliances. Attached garages are also essential.

And finally, residents of resort-style apartments should be allowed to bring their pets. With soundproof walls and the inclusion of a pet deposit, this should not pose a problem. In fact, a pet-walking service could be offered as a community upgrade.
