A look at Seattle apartment listings reveals a good mix of choices. There are large and small complexes as well as large and small units. People can chose from a variety of different bedrooms or no bedrooms at all. There are units to suit most people s budgets and fill the wish lists of many others.
People like to have units that are convenient. If the complex has an elevator, people may like this better than one that only has a staircase. People that wrangle toddlers or carry groceries may have this item on their must have list. Some want to have units that have garages with direct access into their unit. This may be a necessity for some who work nights and come home or leave in the dark. Some of the new apartments in Seattle have these features or they have controlled access to the parking areas.
Storage can be something people want. Units that have small, cramped closets tend to get ignored in favor of the ones that have walk in style closets or extra closets for coat storage. Kitchens need to have plenty of storage for pots and pans but also food storage so units that have actual pantries are generally considered more desirable
than those that don t.
The size of units can vary greatly. Some people only need one bedroom but others have families or roommates and need something larger. Two and three bedrooms are the most common types but occasionally people can find a four or five bedroom unit. Some multigenerational homes will use one bedroom each for parents, children and grandparents with another one used as the living room for the grandparents. There are also studio apartments in Seattle can also be found but they are not as common as other types.
People like units with extra security features. Controlled access by way of codes or cards is popular with some people. They like the idea that anyone who appears onsite probably has a valid reason for being there. Other features like intercoms or door peepholes are things that some complexes have. Most units will have deadbolt locks on exterior doors.
The location of laundry facilities can be a make or break item for some tenants. Many do not mind going to a laundry room on site. More people are looking for units that have the machines in the units themselves or have hookups so they can use their own equipment. Many of the Seattle apartment listings show complexes that have these features.
