Although owning a home is a lifelong goal of many Americans,
renting has advantages too. When we are renting, one of the options we are
presented with is the housing complex. But, many times we do not know if this
is the best option because we do not understand well the concept of this type
of residential unit.
Many people associate housing complexes with luxury. Just so
you are clear about this concept, below the people behind Ebbets Field
Apartments explain what they are and what differences they have with respect to
other residential units.
What is a Housing Complex?
A housing complex a building or related group of buildings
in which one or more member units are located and includes all common areas, services
and facilities available for the use of its residents.
In the case of Ebbets Field Apartments, one of Brooklyn’s largest
housing complexes, located on the former baseball field of the Brooklyn
Dodgers, there are 1300 units, including large studios and 1, 2 & 3 Bedroom
apartments. In addition to the specious rooms, Ebbets Field Apartments also has
many onsite amenities to offer, such as children’s playgrounds, onsite parking
garages and state of the art laundry rooms.
Advantages of Housing Complexes
According to the real estate and apartment management
company Fieldbridge Associates LLC, who bought Ebbets Field Apartments in 1980,
living in a housing complex has certain benefits that, on some occasions, other
types of residences do not offer.
- Residents of housing complexes have the advantage of not
worrying about maintenance costs or repair bills and they don't have to pay property
taxes.
- Apartments offer excellent recreational areas and
beautiful views, which can be enjoyed from the comfort of your home.
- Another financial benefit of renting an apartment is
having access to different amenities. Most housing complexes have multiple
services in the same place: gyms, tennis courts, spas, golf courses, swimming
pools and community centers, among others.
- The planned constructions in a housing complex are
perfectly adapted to people who travel constantly, since they have greater
security measures, such as fences, cameras and surveillance.
- Apartments have a better urbanism and design than other
types of constructions.
