When most people move to a large city, such as San Francisco, they wonder whether they should rent an apartment or buy a 1-bedroom condo. The choice can be tough, especially if you’re uncertain if you’ll still be in the area a few years from now, but it’s usually best to buy something rather than rent. You won’t be throwing money away and will not have a lease, among other reasons.
Small But Roomy
While some people prefer to have a ton of space, most people can do with a lot less. You’ll still have everything necessary to live, eat, and cook, but without all the hassles of buying more stuff to fill the empty spaces. You can still have plenty of closets, a washer/dryer set, refrigerator, stove, sink, dishwasher and enough space to have a comfortable living room with plenty of seating.
High-End Luxuries
Because it’s a smaller space, the building owner is like to put in higher-end appliances. You may be able to get Bertazzoni appliances, Bosch dishwashers, Blomberg refrigerators and other name-brand appliances. Likewise, you may have quartz countertops, chrome faucets, and high-gloss cabinets.
Likewise, you’re more like to find wood flooring, fully operational windows, bathtub and shower combos, and more.
A 1-bedroom condo in San Francisco is also more likely to have LED lighting, water efficient plumbing, safer paints and energy-saving appliances.
Amenities
Condos are well-known for providing a variety of extras that people can use. They’re called common areas and can include things like stairwells, elevators, and hallways. However, you’ll also find other options, such as lounges, private courtyards, secured entries, rooftop terraces, and retail shopping inside/outside the area. While some higher-end apartment complexes may offer some amenities, you aren’t required to sign up for them or be limited as to how you use them. Visit 388 Fulton.
