If you’re in the market for a new home, you may want to consider the benefits of living in an apartment instead of a house. Apartment living can provide many added bonuses and advantages that living in a house doesn’t—you might even feel more at home in an apartment instead of a house. Here are four conveniences that you can find in an apartment community rather than a house.
Lower maintenance lifestyle
When you choose to live in an apartment, you’re embracing a lower maintenance lifestyle. Apartment living can give you a new way of life, since you won’t need to worry about mowing the lawn, keeping the pool clean, or organizing the garage.
Since many apartments provide upkeep of indoor and outdoor communal spaces, you’ll have fewer chores, which will, in turn, allow you to have more time for what’s most important to you. You’ll have time to do fun things like developing a new hobby or hanging out with your friends. A lower maintenance lifestyle can simplify your life and help you save time for what’s most important to you.
Ideal location
You can choose to live in an apartment community that is located in an area close to your work and also near various dining and entertainment options. If you’re able to live in a location close to where you work, you’ll be able to shorten your commute time and you won’t get frustrated about spending a long time in the car every day. Apartments close to shopping malls and restaurants can help you easily go out with your friends and family on the weekend, to browse stores and try new foods. Many apartments for rent in Chicago are close to shopping malls, restaurants, golf courses, movie theatres, and more.
Whether you love ordering take out, going to the movies, or short commutes, living at 444 Social will allow you to keep your personal and professional life in close proximity. We are also located right next to Regal Cinemas, steps away from countless restaurants like Wildfire and Big Bowl, and near many top Fortune 500 companies and headquarters. You'll never be short of things to do while living at 444 Social.
Luxurious amenities
Amenities are one of the main reasons that people choose to live in apartments instead of homes. Lots of people love having access to amenities like fitness studios, where they can lift weights or do yoga. There are even private outdoor areas like trails for those who enjoy walking, running, or riding bicycles outside. Some apartments have pet-friendly amenities, like fenced areas for pets to play.
444 Social offers luxurious amenities, including a resort-style pool, a fitness studio with Peloton bikes, and a private community dock with kayaks. If you choose to live in a home, it can be harder to own these types of amenities.
Social opportunities
Today, in a world that centers around social media and the Internet, it can be difficult to make real and substantial friendships. It’s hard enough to make new friends, so apartment communities provide opportunities for residents to get to know each other with social activities and communal spaces.
Some apartment communities have communal coffee bars and co-working lounges; places where residents can meet new people. They can also provide activities for residents, like karaoke, barbecues, and more. We offer activities for our residents to socialize and get to know one another—in the past, we’ve hosted gatherings for our pet-owning residents to get to know each other, like our “Doggy Dip,” where our residents brought their dogs to swim in our pool before we closed it for the winter. Additionally, we have an app with a community messaging board so that our residents can meet and socialize.
Choosing to downsize
Downsizing from a house to an apartment means you’re saying yes to more! You’ll be able to live a lower maintenance life, which can free you from doing monotonous chores and give you more time for the things and activities you love to do. You can choose to live in an apartment with a location close to your office, or close to local shops and restaurants. The luxurious amenities that apartment living provides give you more opportunities to live an enjoyable life. Additionally, apartment communities give residents more chances to be social by having activities and places for people to meet and spend time together. Since there are so many added benefits of apartment living, it makes sense that many choose to rent an apartment instead of buying a house.
444 Social offers all of these benefits and more. Interested in learning more about our apartment community in Lincolnshire? Contact us here for more information.
