Top Reasons To Rent A Houston Apartment
Top Reasons To Rent A Houston Apartment
The Top Reasons to rent an apartment versus buying a home or renting a house:
1) Flexibility and Less Risk- it's less costly and much easier to buy out of an apartment lease, and you don't have to sell your house first; no minimum 10% property tax or insurance increases year over year; less of a problem if you need to move due to job transfer or move quickly for a variety of reasons from health to family emergency.
2) More Bang For Your Buck- You can enjoy custom interior finishes and features for a fraction of the cost that come with a home purchase from granite countertops and kitchen islands to tray ceilings and crown molding, wood style flooring, contemporary fixtures or a built in computer niche to wine refrigerators at select properties. Views - you can have a million dollar view for the price of an apartment even if it's from the rooftop pool! Communities inside the loop or in Uptown Houston can offer stunning citviews or select suburban properties located on the lake can offer serene lakes and waterviews.
3) Location, location, location - skip that traffic! Your apartment could be close enough to work that you can walk or have a short trip, or have access to Metro or Lite Rail and skip driving to work all together! Some new luxury communities offer bicycle storage, loaner bicycles, even bike repair techs. Popular dining and hot entertainment venues can be minutes from your apartment; say goodbye to gym membership fees with state of the art fitness facilities for a better and healthier you;
4) Lifestyle - apartment life is social! Make new friends or entertain and impress your old friends with amenities such as rooftop social lounges, cozy firepits, billiards and arcade game rooms, sports rooms and resort style pools; feel less guilty about having to leave your pet home all day when you can shuffle over to the bark park where you both can extend your social life. The amenities vary by property but most offer a clubrom and swimming pool at the very least.
5) Save money - less money upfront for renting with lower deposits than renting a home and no huge down payment; save money on apartment rent specials; select Houston apartments offer from 1 month free to other incentives, deals and discounts!
6) Enjoy your days off! No mowing grass, doing plumbing repairs or performing preventative maintenance that comes with home ownership! There's no way around it, you either have to pay someone to do it or do it yourself.
