Perks of Living in a Brand New Apartment in Houston
Congratulations on your swanky new Houston apartment – you’re now part of the hottest residency in the Lone Star State! Living in a brand-new unit means your bathroom has never been used, your carpet—never stained, and your appliances are never cooked-in. Getting to be the first to live in your unit has its perks, and here are some more you may not have considered:
1. Savings Galore
Most new builds have what we call in the ‘biz “occupancy goals” —AKA, they need to have X percent of their units filled by X deadline in order to be profitable. This means they’ll offer competitive rates, serious specials, and even perks like gift cards or raffles for TVs and Xboxes to incentivize people to lease. They’re likely to be more flexible on (what we call in the ‘biz) “hold time”, so if you have to adjust your move date later than the actual availability date of your desired unit, they’ll probably let you push out your move-in a few weeks without changing the price. Anything to get those leases!
2. Tech-Savvy Bliss:
Newer apartment buildings in Houston are designed with the digital age in mind. Say hello to smart home features that allow you to control your thermostat, lighting, and door locks with a tap on your phone. Living in the future has never been so cozy. Not to mention, your fitness centers may have things like interactive workout mirrors, on-demand cycling classes, and in general, equipment that’s more modern and reliable.
3. Resort-Style Living:
Step into your apartment building, and it’s like entering a five-star resort. Modern complexes often have amenities that rival luxury vacation spots – from sparkling swimming pools and state-of-the-art fitness centers to chic rooftop lounges with panoramic city views. Renting a new build means you’ll also capitalize on the latest fads in their amenity spaces. Community Pickleball courts are becoming more and more common, along with golf simulators, and podcast recording rooms. Many leasing offices have prioritized expansive co-working spaces due to the #WFH movement, perfect for when you need a change of remote work scenery.
4. Energy Efficiency Embrace:
New apartments in Houston are not just stylish; they’re eco-friendly too. With energy-efficient appliances, smart climate control, and sustainable building practices, you can bask in the comfort of your home while contributing to a greener planet. Many also include electric vehicle charging stations for those whose 4 wheels require a plug-in. Your carbon footprint just got an upgrade.
5. Seamless Connectivity:
Enjoying the perks of city life is easier when your new apartment building is strategically located. New builds are often constructed in trending neighborhoods, or adjacent to large business areas to reduce the commute time of employees. Nearby to public transportation, major highways, and hot neighborhoods means you’re seamlessly connected to the pulse of Houston. Your commute becomes a breeze, and weekend adventuring is just around the corner.
