The Top 5 Must-Have Amenities to Look for In Your New Apartment

Apartment living in El Paso has its own perks and benefits. People who choose to live in apartments or do so because of work or other life situations want to experience the freedom of renting with the comfort, luxury, and functionality of a home.

Simply put, apartment living is just as much about creating “a home environment” and taking advantage of the unique perks. The key is finding the right place with the amenities and layouts that fit your lifestyle and your needs. 

So what are the top amenities people look for in apartment living today? 

If you’re looking for comfortable and modern apartments in El Paso, Caprock Apartments might be the place for you. Check out our apartments on El Paso’s West Side! 

What is Important to You as a Renter? 

Everyone is different. As a renter, what is important to you? What types of amenities, designs, or floor plans are more popular, but also how is it that people define comfort and performance? This shifts over time and as people’s lifestyles change over time. 

Looking for a new place to stay is an exciting time. Most renters feel excited as they begin to look for a new place because it’s often like a new beginning. According to polls by Apartment Guide, some of the most important qualities of a new apartment include:

  • Budget
  • Desired location 
  • Pet-friendly 
  • Accessibility 

What are Common Amenities? 

In addition to some of the basics above, apartment hunters tend to look for certain amenities to make their lease a little more comforting and cozy, all while increasing performance. 

Amenities refer to the non-essential or unique features that an apartment complex can offer to the renters. This might be in the form of in-unit or community amenities. Let’s look at both. 

Amenities Inside the Unit 

Some examples of amenities found inside the apartment include:

  • In-unit laundry 
  • Refrigerated air
  • Patio or balcony 
  • Dishwashers
  • Wi-fi 
  • Fireplace
  • Energy-efficient appliances 

Community Amenities  

Apartment complexes can also offer community amenities to their guests in the form of shared spaces or facilities. Common examples include: 

  • Swimming pool 
  • BBQ areas 
  • Playgrounds 
  • Gyms or fitness centers 
  • Dog parks 
  • Community gardens 
  • Guest parking
  • Bike storage
  • Electric vehicle charging stations 

What are the Most Important Amenities that Renters Look for Today?

With a long list of possible amenities, what are the most important ones renters look for today? Here’s a list of what some of today’s renters are looking for.  

#1 Pet-friendly Amenities

People love their furry friends. When it comes to popular amenities today, dog-friendly and cat-friendly units are on top of the list. Along with pet-friendly apartments, people look for dog parks and grassed areas where their dogs can get a little walk or socialize with others. 

#2 Other Outdoor Spaces 

Because of the rise of remote work, many people are working from their apartments and need a place where they can enjoy the outdoors at the end of the day or with their kids. Outdoor shared spaces such as gardens, parks, playgrounds, or picnic areas are attractive features for any apartment complex. 

#3 Energy-Efficient Appliances 

Whether it’s smart thermostats or high-efficiency HVAC systems, people want to find ways to conserve energy in their apartments. Appliances such as smart thermostats are one way that people can have more control over their homes and conserve energy at the same time. 

Renters love smart thermostats because they can be programmed and controlled by a smart device and therefore set to the desired temperature as they are headed home or after they have left. 

#4 Easy Package Delivery 

More people than ever are shopping online. In 2021, the number of digital buyers is 2.14 billion worldwide. In fact, many people might order their groceries or lunch for delivery as well. People might worry about the safety of their packages if left outside of their door, so ensuring there is a simple delivery system at the front office such as package lockers or other options can be a plus for many renters. 

#5 Easy-Access Parking and Transportation 

Location is important. Providing easy-access parking is a plus for people that want to avoid having to park long distances away from their apartment. Nobody likes carrying the groceries across an entire complex.

Apartments can offer reserved resident parking, visitor parking spaces, designated rideshare pick-up areas, and even proximity to public transportation.

Workout Ideas for Small Spaces

Everyone has wanted to shed those last few pounds off, or wanted to get ripped and quit their job to be a full-time Instagram model. But sometimes we don’t have the time or the money for a gym membership, and can only get in a quick workout in between other obligations or tasks throughout the day. We at Caprock Apartments want you to be productive and get that sexy summer bod, so we compiled a list of great workout ideas to get you shredded in no time!

Yoga

In a more health and wellness connected society, yoga is becoming a more well-known way to not only improve your mental and spiritual health. However, yoga can improve your physical health too. Yoga calls for holding complex poses for extended periods, meaning your muscles will get stronger and get more endurance over time. Endurance is important, especially if you want to protect your joints when doing more explosive movements. Flexibility is also a great plus of yoga, which can make your muscles more functional and toned across the full range of motion. Most importantly, you don’t need a ton of space or time to get in a good yoga session, Just get about a coffee table worth of space and you’re good to go.

Resistance Bands

So you may already be familiar with the basic exercises—squats, push-ups, and sit-ups were the staples of any elementary and middle school P.E class. And while those are still awesome exercises that you can do anywhere, did you know that you can make them even harder with resistance bands? Resistance bands allow you to take bodyweight exercises to the next level, without having to buy expensive dumbbells or workout machines. And they come in a huge variety that let you scale your way to ultimate strength and flexibility. Resistance bands can even be used as a warm up before you do your main workout, and you can find resistance band workouts all over the place if you do a little bit of research.

HIIT Cardio

Cardio is one of the best ways to shed some pounds and get a more toned, healthy look. But people often don’t think they can get quality cardio if they don’t have a treadmill, stair machine, or a lot of open space to work with. This is simply not true, because there’s a type of cardio called HIIT that can be done anytime, and anywhere. HIIT stands for high intensity interval training, which simply means that you exert near-maximum energy for short bursts of time, then rest and repeat. HIIT training has become wildly popular, and that’s mainly because of how the workout is structured. The human body sees the most change and benefit when it is at near-max effort, but normal people cannot sustain this for long periods. 20 seconds of intense high knees or burpees will definitely have you drenched, and then you’ll take 10 to 15 seconds to get your breath and get ready for the next set. 

Visiting Our Gym

Got a little more than a couple minutes on your hands? Then why not enjoy our well-stocked gym, where you can incorporate dumbbells and cardio machines into your normal workout routine. For the best results, you should have a blend of all of the above exercise ideas in your workout routine. That way, your body will be strong, flexible, and durable—not to mention you can finally be an Instagram model, yay!
