Separate homes vs Apartments: Why apartments are better?

Some people opt for independent homes while others prefer Apartments For Sale In Colombo. Before we dive into the benefits of choosing an apartment, let us acknowledge the fact that selecting the best location is the most important aspect rather than choosing the apartment or separate home first.

Provided that you have found the right location for you, it is important to understand why an apartment would be a better choice for you and your family. The debate between which is a better option is a long – standing one and there are stark reasons why apartments always win over separate houses. Here are some of those benefits.

  • Apartments are easier to maintain.

Ease of maintenance is synonymous with apartments. When you have a separate home, you may need to spend a hefty amount on maintaining both indoor and outdoor areas like  front and back yard, garden, servants quarters and garage. With apartments, your to-do- list is short and sweet as tasks such as fixing the roof, plumbing, sewerage and other time-taking aspects are are the responsibility of the apartment. All you have to do is pick up the phone and call property maintenance if there’s an issue.

2. Save Money

Apartments are generally less expensive as Colombo is running out of living space and the few properties that are available for house – building are extremely expensive. Moving into an apartment means you will not have to deal with construction costs. You can simply move in with your furniture and start living. As the condominium is shared by many residents, the individual price of a home is considerably lower as opposed to purchasing a single house or land to build a house in.

3. Increased Safety

Living in a multi-unit dwelling gives added security you can’t find in a home. It is almost impossible for thieves to enter your home as the security facilities are higher than what you’d expect in a separate home. For example, the Apartments for Sale in Havelock City is a gated community, with controlled access, security cameras, and extra fire protection.

The close proximity of neighbors is also a huge safety benefit. They’re better able to hear if something happens, notice if something seems out of the ordinary, and may have extra time to contact the management downstairs.

Increased safety features make apartment living perfect for those living alone, families with children, the elderly, or those who just want peace of mind.

4. Great Amenities

With separate homes, it is not easy to maintain or build an in- house gym, squash court or swimming pool. If you require access to such facilities, you may need to commute to such locations which may not always be within close proximity to your home.

With apartments, you can expect recreation and convenience right outside your doorstep as condominiums such as Apartments for Sale in Shangri-La offer many perks you can’t find in most single homes.

Clubhouses to hold big parties in, playgrounds, fitness centers, automated smart homes, and swimming pools are just some of the amenities you’ll find. While you can build features like these into a house, the cost can get out of reach for most budgets. It’s upgraded living, all without having to pick up the bill.
