Choosing the perfect apartment in the Buffalo/Williamsville area can be challenging. It’s a big decision, so this week in the Luxury Apts WNY Blog we’re providing some apartment hunting tips to help guide you through the process.
Know what you’re looking for in an apartment.
A good starting point to finding your dream apartment home is to create a checklist. Think about what you love about the places you’ve lived as well as what deal breakers are for you. List your top three must-haves are, and what you can be more flexible about. Some important things to consider are the size of the apartment, the layout, and how any furniture you could potentially fit into the space. Of course the monthly rent and any additional fees (for example, for keeping pets), how long contracts are, whether apartments are pet-friendly or not, and the design and features of your apartment all need to be considered too.
Choose a community that feels like home.
Meeting the staff and taking a tour of the apartment community is a good way to get an idea about how you actually feel moving around into the area. Be sure to check details —for instance, check that Wi-Fi works in all places it’s supposed to, test out the shower, and check the outlets. Drop by the apartment at night so you can see what it’s like at all times of the day. Even if you’re just driving by, you might be able to get valuable information about how crowded and what the typical noise level is at various times of the day/night.
Be sure to completely read through the lease and any resident handbooks to get a feel for what exactly you’re dealing with before you sign!
