As the new year begins, owners and managers of multi-family housing, apartments, student housing, and senior living communities realize keeping up with industry trends will be what ensures long-term success, staying above the competition, increase traffic, reduce turnover and maximize revenue. It starts by understanding what the residents in 2015 will be looking for.
Creating a sense of community through common areas: The growing number of residence of all ages calling multi-family communities home will continue to grow in 2015.
Families are calling apartment living home for significantly longer than just a five years ago, increasing the sense of community living. The trend for areas where residence can socialize, larger clubhouses, a lobby with restaurants and coffee shops, dog parks, outdoor theater, car wash stations and other areas places where neighbors can interact, establishing a feeling of ‘home’.
Apartment lobbies and student housing will resemble luxury hotel lobbies. Complete with communal tables, somewhere you can meet someone for dinner or get a cup of coffee, on-site dry cleaning, and kids club, encouraging social interaction.
Updated Units: Modern multi-family homes with up-graded energy-efficient appliances, newest technology, clean design, and quality flooring, not only increase revenue for investors but also reduces energy costs and decrease maintenance costs.
Micro Kitchens: Instead of making the kitchen a focal point in an open floor plan, have it blend in or store it away behind cabinetry. They will still include full size appliances, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, cook top, sink, oven, even counter space and storage, but unit will feel larger.
Renters without pets. Though the current trend for pets isn’t going to change anytime soon, the industry will see designated areas for ‘pet free zone’ and for those with allergies, pet free units.
