5 Benefits of Apartment Living
If you're in search of a place to call home, you're probably feeling a bit overwhelmed by all of the possible options. If Rolla has an abundance of one thing, it's definitely housing! But just because the options are plenty, doesn't mean that every available property is going to be right for your particular needs. Do you prefer living in a standalone house, but you just can't justify paying so much for rent and not sure you really need the extra space and responsibility?
Here at The Lodges at Rolla, we're certain that apartment living can provide a plethora of unrealized benefits. So this week, we're sharing with you just some of the benefits of apartment living. We hope that this information will help to make your decision a bit easier!
5 Benefits of Apartment Living
1. Budget Friendly
The number one benefit of living in an apartment is the financial aspect of renting. If you're smart with your budget, rent can be significantly cheaper than a mortgage. In addition to an overall lower monthly payment, other financial components such as upkeep and utilities are generally lower because of the smaller space and the overall responsibility of a landlord/owner versus a tenant. At The Lodges at Rolla, our leases include the following utilities:
- Free Cable TV
- Free High Speed Internet
- Sewer, Water, and Trash included
2. Excellent Amenities
Unlike buying or renting a house, apartment complexes typically have some amenities built in for their renters' enjoyment. Although you could always have many of these elements built into your home if you own, the financial obligation is not as rewarding. Apartment living can prove to be a very convenient and luxurious living arrangement. At the Lodges at Rolla, our fabulous amenities include:
- On-site BBQ Grills and Picnic area
- Hot Tub
- Fire Pit
- Large Resort Style Pool
- Fully equipped 24hr Fitness Center
- Community/Meeting/ and Study Rooms
- Business Center
- Gated and Secure Community
3. Virtually Maintenance Free
When renting, maintenance responsibility generally falls on landlord/owner. Not only is the lack of maintenance worries a financial blessing, but it’s also one less thing you have to worry about handling when an issue arises. If it snows, no need to shovel. All lawn care is taken care of by our maintenance staff. Have a maintenance emergency? The Lodges at Rolla will take care of that with our 24hr Emergency Maintenance service. The peace of mind associated with the mental freedom of renting is priceless.
4. Short-Term Commitment
Parallel to buying a home, apartment rentals make great short-term transitional options. If you're going to school in Rolla, and don't plan to stay in the area for longer than the school year, renting an apartment is the way to go. Your lease can run the course of your school year, and your financial obligation can end once your lease is up, making it easier for you to move back home. Got long-term plans to make Rolla home, but just not ready to pull the trigger? Whether you are working on credit, saving money or mentally preparing for the responsibility of owning a home, renting an apartment at The Lodges at Rolla is the best interim option.
5. Convenient Accessibility
One of the best things about apartment living is the close proximity of anything you need. If you're a student at MS&T, The Lodges at Rolla is the perfect living location because we're within walking distance of campus. Shopping is also a convenient accessibility, as our community is located just off of I-44, and near many prominent shopping centers, gas stations and restaurants.
