If you’re on the prowl for a new rental home, chances are you’re
looking for amenities such as new kitchen counter, hardwood flooring and
more than one bathrooms, but there are also other perks to living in a
shared community that renters today should consider when searching for
the perfect rental. From basic perks like an on-site laundry facility
and parking to fitness centers in the building, each renter should
consider which amenities they’d like to have included with their rental
home. Living in an apartment these days doesn’t mean you have to forfeit
a yard or BBQ space; private backyards are becoming more commonplace in
first level units, and are much larger than your standard unit’s patio.
If this is something you’d enjoy (or your furry friend would enjoy!)
you’ll typically see a price increase anywhere from $150-$200.
Like many Seattleites, I like to start my morning with piping hot
latte – and it just so happens many of the apartment buildings in the
area have an on-site cafe located in the lobby for your convenience. Is
you morning workout important? Look for a building with an on-site
community gym or a lovely pool (pictured right at the Olive 8), or if
you like a nice summer BBQ, look for a building with a shared rooftop
terrace. If you’re searching for a nice rental for you and your furry
friend, pet friend amenities used to be difficult to find, but are
becoming more commonplace in neighborhood buildings. Full-service pet
spas and doggy-daycare are located in many buildings for your
convenience and your companions pleasure! Whatever your needs may be,
it’s important to consider building amenities when searching for your
next rental home. For more information on Seattle rentals,
