Apartments with amenities are preferred when investing

Since 2007, the amenities boom began to take shape and became more vigorous in Buenos Aires. Since then until these days, the extra facilities inside a building are really important when people decide to invest on a house. Due to this tendency, it is really common that constructors and real estate agencies build small apartments with a great amount of extra amenities.

Even though many people admit that they generally don’t use too much, the truth is that nowadays, thank to these extra facilities, the idea of living in an apartment, and not a house, is not that bad. For example, many people have always wanted a swimming pool in their houses, or a barbecue to invite friends over, or even a little garden to relax. All these things can be a part of your building now, making at least a bit of the dream come true.

Amenities have become really popular mainly for this reason. Plus, as it has become too popular, that itself generates an increase on the demand. This also makes more people now want an apartment with amenities.

Within the types of amenities you can find in an apartment building, there exist the ordinary and the extraordinary: Swimming pool, barbecue, SUM (Multiple Use Room), garden, gym, dry and wet sauna, golf court, yoga room, gym instructor, kids club (with babysitters), game place for kids, small cinema, deck with solarium, laundry room, among others.

The main targets who are interested in buying or renting apartments with amenities are the young people, the young couples, and marriages with children.

The reasons for choosing this type of houses are plenty. Firstly, it is believed that it is a good way to socialize with neighbors, and not only when they cross in the halls or at the entrance. Secondly, it is also believed that, as you have a gym at home or a laundry room, you don’t have to go out, or buy a washing machine for your apartment.

Anyway, for plenty of reasons, when it comes to investing, people choose to move to an apartment that, although it may be small, it has amenities you can use.
