What Makes a "Luxury" Apartment?

Many apartments are advertised as deluxe, luxury, or high-end, but offer little more than cosmetic enhancements - usually at a high price! A true luxury apartment is designed to make your life more pleasant and more comfortable.

When considering a luxury apartment, here are some things to look for:

Outstanding Service

A luxury apartment should include 24x7 staffing, next-day response to service requests, and concierge services.

Space

Both the public areas and the apartment itself should feel spacious! Luxury apartments should also have plenty of storage!

Light

Apartments should offer lots of natural light; many feature floor-to-ceiling windows.

Location and Views

A prime location can greatly increase the value of an apartment. One of the most desirable features is nearly access to parks and outdoor space. A waterfront location is particularly attractive. Studies have shown that living on the waterfront can improve both mental and physical health and well-being.

Upgraded Kitchens

Look for high-end appliances, solid wood cabinets, and high-end countertops.

Amenities

When it comes to amenities and services, the sky's the limit! Amenities may include fitness centers, business centers, spas, swimming pools, public entertaining spaces, rooftop decks, movie theaters, concierge services, dry-cleaning and laundry pickup and delivery, and more!
