Are you ready for Perth apartment living?

In Perth, apartment living has become “de rigueur” over the last five years: gone are the days of high-rise eyesores.

Apartment prices have gone up, especially in areas near water, train stations and close to busy centres.

In 2015, there was a surge of apartments building under the “build to rent” concept, especially in Rivervale, the CBD, East Perth, Scarborough and South Perth.

Developers are now concentrating on “build to live” clients and looking closely at what potential buyers want in apartment living.

Small bars, cafes, restaurants, pop-up shops, the Fringe Festival, hawkers markets, interesting public art, Elizabeth Quay: Perth’s inner city has become much more vibrant and that makes it a far more attractive place to live.

The list goes on, other attractions of living in apartments include:

• Maintenance covered and taken care of by the landlord or the body corporate.
• An apartment is ideal for those who choose to live alone.
• Save on utilities including water and electricity.
• Safety of living in a secure environment.
• An affordable option to live in a wealthy suburb and have the advantages of all it provides.
• The opportunity to create a sense of old- fashioned community.
