Whether you’re looking for condos for sale in Manhattan, or in a smaller suburban city across the country, you need to look beyond the condo space itself. Much of the allure of owning a condo has to do with the amenities that comes with it. Here are a few benefits of quality amenities:
-
Increases the value of your condo: When potential buyers know they are getting added value, they’ll be willing to pay more
-
Convenient: Imagine only having a gym, spa or pool just a few floors away from you
-
Enhanced lifestyle: Enjoy a full and exciting life by coming home from work, meeting up with friends in your building and going for a relaxing swim or having a game of table tennis.
MUST-HAVE Building Amenities
When looking at condos, you will have to consider which amenities you consider to be ‘must haves’ and which ones you can do without. Parking, for instance, won’t be a huge concern if you don’t own a car; however, it may be a good idea if you have a visitor from out of town and they need a place to park. Consider your options very carefully. Here a few amenities that many people consider ‘must haves’:
-
Parking (some offer underground parking)
-
Laundry facilities
-
Security
-
Gym
-
Pool
-
Games or rec room
Condo Amenities
These amenities are part of your condo, and having them can increase the value of your condo ten-fold.
-
Natural light – a bright condo will cut down on your energy bills, and give your condo a bright look at day long; particularly south-facing windows.
-
Good View – you don’t want to look out at a brick building next door. Find a condo with a good view that you’ll be happy with
-
Appliances – Fridge and stove at a minimum
Many condos for sale in Manhattan have all the features above, so you can purchase your home with confidence.
