There are some things that make sense when finding Seattle real estate, such as a good location and natural lighting. However, there are other options you should consider to get the most out of your new real estate purchase.
Luxury means different things to different people, but everyone generally wants the same things. It is important to think about these things before going off and trying to find luxury condos in Seattle.
Storage
People usually don’t consider storage space when considering a luxury apartment or condo, but it can be a big deal. When buying a house, you can always consider garages, basements, and a lot of roomy closets, but in a condo, you are quite limited. Of course, most luxury condos offer big walk-in closets, but even that is sometimes not enough. Just make sure most of your stuff will fit. You can always use custom closet companies to create even more storage space.
In-House Laundry
Most people don’t consider luxury and laundry together, but who wants to drive to the laundromat every week? It is luxurious to have a laundry unit in your condo. You might also be able to find an in-unit laundry space, meaning you can have a washer and dryer combination in your own apartment or condo, saving even more space.
Reputation
It may seem strange to consider apartments and condos with a good reputation, but it can be the difference between loving and hating your home. Buildings that have good reputations retain their value, and people tend to seek out those buildings. This means that if you were to move into one of these buildings, you would likely have a good experience.
Make sure to take a tour of the building, not just your unit. Pay close attention to people standing around and any recreational areas that are for everyone. Are there a lot of children without parents present? Do you hear people yelling behind closed doors? Your personal needs may vary from others, but chances are, if you don’t like hearing others’ conversations or dislike children, you will want to stay away from those condos.
Parking
If you own a vehicle, you will need to keep it parked in a safe and secure place. Make sure that the condo offers parking for your vehicles and for those of others. Parking can cost a lot in Seattle, and Parsons Team Seattle can help you find a condo with parking included.
