Buying your own home is one of the true signs of success. It gives you a sense of independence and freedom that can’t be found by living in your parents’ basement. Just like any large purchase, though, it’s not something you should rush into. If you’re looking for a new condo in New York City or the surrounding area, the building and development you choose is just as important as the location and the condo. Here are a few things that new condos should have:
-
Attention to detail: Even the smallest details such as crown molding, baseboards, and the color of the walls are important and can make the difference between a good condo and a great one.
-
Building amenities: Sauna, gym, pool, games room, banquet room are all amenities that most condos are now being equipped with. When you’re shopping around, find amenities that are important for you.
-
Appliances: Many new developments are being sold with state-of-the-art appliances. This can be an extremely convenient feature as you don’t have to worry about moving in your own.
-
Common Areas: These include the lobby, courtyard areas, boat dock and even rooftop gardens. Again, you’ll have to decide which common areas you are most interested in (you might not want a boat dock if you are not a boating enthusiast).
-
Parking: If you have a car you’ll want your own parking spot. Some developments offer underground parking, while others offer specific outdoor parking.
-
Security: This is a feature that most condo owners appreciate, and many buildings offer 24-hour manned security. This can give you peace of mind, especially if you buy a condo on the first floor.
The top NYC developments take every detail into consideration and the newest condominiums have almost every amenity imaginable, so you’ll have your choice of luxury accommodations to choose from. For more information, visit Naftali Group.
