The Life of the Apartment Residents

Due to the scarcity of land, some residents in big cities began to develop their dwellings upwards. As a result, apartment complexes are mushrooming everywhere. The types also vary, no longer just luxurious and exclusive as before. There are even many subsidized apartments for those who do not have exorbitant salaries.

Well, if you are one of those interested in buying or renting an apartment, this article can help you. This time, I will talk about the ups and downs of living in an apartment.

1. The apartment will feel much more “solid” than the house. You Will Be Tired of Meeting… Walls!

Other people can get tired of meeting girlfriends. But you, as an apartment dweller, will be more bored of meeting walls.

Like many others, you probably grew up in a "relaxed" home. This will surprise you the first time you move into an apartment. One step forward from the living room, you will find the kitchen. Swipe right, you've found the bathroom. Move forward, already entered the bedroom.

Especially if you have a lot of stuff. Where do you want to put it? Maybe you will think about selling your things to a flea market before moving into an apartment.

On the other hand, apartment density is an advantage if you really like practical things, or basically you are lazy to move. It doesn't take a lot of energy to move from one place to another. You will also be trained to make the most of the space. You will also find it easier to store your things, and it will not be difficult to clean your room.

2. Doraemon Has a Door Anywhere. Create Apartment Occupants,

The elevator is a vital part of your life in the apartment. The higher the floor of your apartment unit, the more influence the elevator has on your life. To go to the pool, find a restaurant, or go to the supermarket, you have to take the elevator down. Considering that now there are also apartments that have their own school or office complexes, maybe you just need to take the elevator to go to school or work.

This is not a problem if the elevator in your apartment is fast and empty. On the other hand, if you have to share an elevator every day with dozens of other residents, get ready to be upset. It's crowded, full, not to mention sometimes there are maintenance workers who bring trash cans into the elevator!

3. For you apartment dwellers, neighbors are…

It's not easy to get along with fellow apartment residents, even those who live right next to you. You will not have a home page where you and your neighbors can exchange greetings. If you're busy, well, maybe you've never even met the residents of the apartment next to you.

But if you have close neighbors or not, it really depends on your will. You can still socialize in the elevator, or when you hang out together in the garden below. There are also many apartment residents who actually form their own communities, such as the Japanese community, the Korean people, and even the community of mothers with strollers.

4. Living in an apartment makes you have a good parking ability

Sharing the parking lot is the obligation of all apartment residents. Ideally, there should be a special parking area allocated for each occupant. The problem is, many residents have more than one vehicle. Plus, if there's a mall under the house — you have to fight over parking with mall visitors. This makes you have to work extra hard just to park!

5. During Earthquakes and Fires, You Will Really Hope There Is Land in Front of Your Eyes

Panic when there is an earthquake or fire is normal. But if you are tens of meters above the ground, your panic will be multiplied. If you stay at home it's great! You just open the front door and run to the field. But if you're in an apartment, you have to be ready to run along the floors of the emergency stairs.

6. Being an apartment dweller also means being an easy target for advertising

Isn't it really lazy if every time you come home from work you are greeted with product brochures scattered on the floor? Worse yet, among all the brochures, there must be some naughty brochures like massage parlors plus-plus.

7. But luckily, living in an apartment means you don't have to bother looking for daily necessities.

The good thing about living in an apartment is that you don't have to worry about monthly needs such as electricity, water, gallons, internet, and cleaning. If it's not service from the manager, you can certainly find services like that in your apartment complex easily. They will also definitely be ready to deliver the product to your apartment unit.

8. Leaving the House Only Wearing Nightgowns Is Also "Normal".

So close to restaurants, supermarkets, or ATMs, you must be lazy to change clothes. Just make sure you have cute nightgowns or house clothes so you don't get too embarrassed.

9. Being an apartment dweller means you can be calm if the flood comes. No Problem!!

Living at a height will keep you free from flooding. Well, this is especially important for those who live in flood-prone cities like Jakarta. Even if it's a little flooded in the lobby, your personal belongings will still be dry if you live in an apartment.

10. The higher the floor where you live, the less mosquitoes come. Mosquitoes will also get drunk if they have to fly high.

Another plus of the apartment is the guarantee of being free of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes or other insects will need more effort to visit our room on the 17th floor. How lazy are they to reach that floor?

11. Even though again, all must be paid for with the narrowness of the land

Living in an apartment means making peace with the narrowness of the land. Don't expect to be able to easily hold a get-together with friends. You have to be clever in calculating, estimating the number of invitees and comparing it with the available land.

12. But, Living Anywhere Of course Comes With Consequences

Living in housing, you have to be ready to leave at dawn so you don't get stuck in traffic. Living in an apartment, you must be prepared to only have a narrow and limited space to move. All choices have consequences.

13. Living in an apartment does require you to make peace with a narrow land, but it also offers rare easy access

Many apartment developers offer easy access as their main "sale". From the apartment you can reach many strategic places. Toll roads, malls, office complexes, all close!

14. Neighbors Are Rare To Find, But That Doesn't Mean Help Is Hard To Find

There are people who are always in-charge to make sure all the facilities of your apartment run well. Even though the help of neighbors is hard to find, that doesn't mean you have to face difficulties on your own.

15. Living in an apartment is full of art, but this is the best choice for you right now

Rarely meet neighbours, difficult parking, cramped space: living in an apartment is indeed an art. But there are facilities that he also offers. For now, living in an apartment offers conveniences that no other place — including your childhood home — can provide.

Life wherever there must be ups and downs. It all depends on you: among all the conveniences and difficulties that exist, isn't it your own choice where to live?
