Apartment Hunting? Three Community Amenities You'Ll Really Appreciate As A Busy Millennial

Posted on: 25 December 2015

Looking for apartments can be a bit overwhelming. Not only do you have to worry about floor plans, location, and landlord personalities, but there are so many different community amenities to consider! Here's a look at three apartment community amenities that will make your life a lot easier as a busy millennial.

An On-Site Café

If you're like most millennials, you do at least a portion of your work remotely from a computer. Even if it's just responding to emails on the weekends, you're likely to want a place other than your apartment to get this work done. Having an internet café right within the community will come in handy. You can grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the cozy environment, making having to work outside of the office more enjoyable. You also know that you'll have a nearby WiFi source should your home internet connection ever fail. Plus, a community café is a convenient place to meet your neighbors, which is not always easy with the busy schedule of a young, working millennial. 

A Community Party Room

Hosting a big gathering with friends can be tough in a small apartment. However, a lot of apartment communities have a special room that residents can rent out and use for parties.  Sometimes, there is a small fee associated with using this space, and other times, doing so is free for residents. Furniture is usually supplied, and sometimes there is even a community kitchen you can use to cook food for you crowd. With this type of room available, you won't have to choose between partying in a cramped apartment and renting an expensive banquet hall. And you don't have to say "no" to hosting Thanksgiving dinner because you don't know where everyone will sit.

A Community Park or Garden

In order to avoid getting burned out, it is important to take some time away from your busy schedule and just unwind in nature. An apartment community that has a garden or park within it makes it easier for you to unwind and de-stress. You'll have an easier time making a habit of reading in the park or doing some outdoor yoga if the park is just steps away from your apartment door, and your health will improve as a result. Like the café, a community park provides a convenient location to meet neighbors and build your social circle, too.

Companies such as Sterling Realty may be able to help you begin your search for the perfect apartment location.
