Apartment Living vs. Townhouse: Has Covid-19 Change your mind about how to live in the city?
Where to live in the Big Apple is a question with many choices to consider. Today we decided to do a luxury apartment vs. townhouse showdown in light of Covid 19 to determine what is the ultimate in city living right now.
Top 5 Reasons why Luxury Apartment living is the ultimate in city living:
5) Onsite parking
4) Amenities: Package Deliveries, Gym, Spas
3) Doorman
2) Horizontal Living
1) Views
Top 5 Reasons that a townhome (Brownstone, Brick or Limestone) is the ultimate in city living:
5) Pets: No restrictions. You decide the pet policy
4) Outdoor space: Stoop hangs and private gardens
3) Control : You can make your own renovation decisions without restrictions and rules of condo or coop board
2) Quiet: typically townhouses are located off of the avenues so they are quieter
1) Privacy
In the Age of Covid there are limits on use of apartment building amenities and you are always sharing space with others. For some the act of sharing an elevator with a neighbor has shifted from an opportunity for a friendly chat to a moment of anxiety over the lack of social distancing . At this moment in time the quintessential townhouse with privacy and control may just have the edge!
Has Covid-19 made you want to live differently?
If money was no object, which manner of city living would you prefer? Apartment or Townhome?
