Paying Extra: Apartment Amenities that Are Worth the Cost

Adding “extra value” to apartments, most residential communities today offer tenants amenities, which can come at a price. From spacious roof decks to fancy gyms, these amenities may seem desirable and tempting at first glance, but are they are worth it?

For those searching for a rental, TIME magazine shares the following apartment amenities that are worth the extra cost:  

Fitness center. Health is wealth. Along with proper diet, regular exercise should be the priority of residents. Having a fitness center at the convenience of your home, where you can regularly exercise, gives you no excuse not to stay healthy and fit.

Doorperson. More than having someone to open one’s door, a porter or a doorperson is valuable security personnel. They are privy to the comings and goings in the building, and apart from the security guards, can easily spot suspicious behavior among visitors or tenants.

WiFi. This can help tenants lower the cost of their monthly data plan, especially when using two or more gadgets. In the long run, it’s cheaper and more convenient to have a WiFi connection pre-installed.

Storage. Having extra storage on-site is more practical than renting an apartment complex to store your other valuables. It makes things, such as bikes and seasonal decorations, for example, more accessible in case you urgently need them.

The value of these amenities really depends on the priorities of tenants, who should also know needs from wants and take into consideration their financial position.
