The number of Australians opting to ditch the traditional home with a big backyard in favour of the convenience and lifestyle attached to inner-city living has risen in recent years.
Bashar Ibrahim from luxury property development firm, Bella Ikea, says, “Australians have fallen out of love with the lawnmower, they don’t want the burden of a high maintenance home anymore.
“Luxury residential apartments deliver a very desirable simplistic yet sophisticated lifestyle that, Sydney locals especially, crave.”
Trends from the Australian Bureau of Statistics agree. Over the last 25 years, Australians have been romanced by the convenience of modern apartment living.
Especially New South Wales, where nearly half of all residents have moved to the simplicity of apartment living, more and more Australians are realising that luxury apartment living is a perfect choice.
The penthouse feeling on any floor? Absolutely possible.
At Your Service
Luxury begins with a concierge, front desk service, to take the stress out of life. A concierge service in a luxury residential apartment complex is available to assist residents with day-to-day tasks.
Your very own everyday lifestyle support – available to collect packages, arrange your dry cleaning, deliver your mail, wait for a handyman, or even take care of the dog grooming.
Safe and Secure
Building security is usually standard in a luxury apartment, providing peace of mind and safety for you and your belongings.
Access is further restricted at the lift, with swipe card granting access to your floor only.
Luxury residential properties are also fitted with automation centres to greet and allow access to guests.
Keyless locks or even finger recognition is also among the latest technology being used to ensure security.
In the carpark, luxury starts the second you drive home. With options such as number plate recognition upon entry and remote cameras ensuring safety and regular security attendants sweeping the area.
This level of security is almost exclusively available to these luxury residential developments.
Functional Spaces
With clever floorplan configurations carefully curated to maximise space, luxury apartment buyers enjoy welcoming layouts suited to their lifestyle needs.
Expect flowing homes that are comfortable and inviting with oversized bedrooms and large, functional bathrooms with plenty of storage.
At this end of the property market true luxury is found in not just the state-of-the-art European appliances, but also the details with quality fixtures and fittings, creative storage options and beautiful cabinetry.
Natural Light
In most luxury developments you will find floor to ceiling windows as a key design feature, not only taking advantage of incredible views but also offering incredible natural light.
Natural lighting helps to visually enlarge spaces and is a proven mood booster, and there’s no denying that positive feeling you get from entering a space with incredible natural light.
According to studies, the natural boost from sunlight can be as much as 40%.
The average person craves the mood-lifting benefits of sunlight, which triggers the release of the hormone serotonin.
Plus, a bright and sunlit room also cuts down energy costs – saving money on lighting and heating.
Resort Style Amenities
Modern luxury apartment developments offer convenient access to recreational spaces for their residents.
These amenities are no longer simply small-sized swimming pools and miniature gym.
Rather, modern luxury properties offer everything from large heated swimming pools, spas and saunas, through to fully-equipped gyms, spacious entertainment areas, business centres, and lush communal gardens.
Premium amenities such as these not only add to the value of the development but also the quality of life of their residents.
It’s also common for major developments to include commercial shopping precents on the ground floor with retail spaces filled with convenience stores, cafes, dry-cleaners, news agencies and more. Everything you could need, easily accessible from your luxury home.
Green Spaces
Just because they might not have a backyard does not mean apartment dwellers can’t also enjoy green spaces in their home environment.
To lure those who are swapping spacious suburban blocks for apartment living, luxury apartments will offer beautifully landscaped communal gardens, herb gardens, veggie patches and even vertical gardens.
As well as adding the comfort of greenery, these spaces bring a community feel to a residential apartment development.
