Benefits of Apartment Amenities
The best amenities for your apartment complex will be desirable and useful features that will offer a variety of benefits to your tenants and encourage long-term occupancy. Your apartment building can include outdoor common-use amenities, like a rooftop pool, and individual unit amenities, like a balcony. The inclusion of certain amenities, especially an outdoor kitchen, will add value to your property and offer enjoyable outdoor entertainment spaces for your tenants.
The most desirable properties will offer a variety of community amenities, allowing you to create an outdoor entertaining oasis. Providing additional amenities alongside an outdoor kitchen, such as a seating area, pool, and fireplace, will enhance the outdoor space for your occupants and their guests to enjoy all year long.
Best Apartment Amenities
Rooftop decks. A rooftop deck is a popular amenity space for an apartment complex, as it can easily incorporate other amenities, such as an outdoor kitchen, a lounging area, and a pool. Rooftop amenity spaces offer many benefits with their unique views, and they maximize the use of space by increasing the usable living area of your rental property.
Patios and balconies. An alternative to a rooftop deck is a patio or balcony. A patio is a great option for a common-use amenity area in your apartment building, while balconies are beneficial to individual apartment units. Like a rooftop deck, either space can house a variety of other community amenities.
Outdoor kitchens. Designing a durable, powder coated stainless steel outdoor kitchen in your apartment amenity space is the best way to offer entertaining benefits to your tenants. The versatility of Danver’s outdoor cabinetry will give you the freedom to design a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen in common areas, with the option to design small kitchens or bartending stations for balconies so you can be mindful of safety codes and laws.
Seating areas. Whether you opt for relaxed seating on a balcony or more formal seating on a patio, outdoor seating areas are always essential for any multi-family property. Place your outdoor seating near the pool and outdoor kitchen for a great space for your tenants to relax and eat outdoors.
Pools. A pool is a popular feature for tenants to enjoy, especially if it is close to other outdoor features, like an outdoor kitchen. Pools maximize enjoyment in the outdoors for kids and adults alike, and installing an outdoor kitchen nearby offers a fun common areas to grill, drink, and splash around in the pool on those hot days.
Fireplaces. A fireplace in any outdoor common-use space means the space can be comfortably enjoyed even when the sun goes down. Placing a fireplace near the outdoor seating area will offer a warm space to eat, drink, and socialize.
