Renting in a Housing Complex

 

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.
