'Life-sizing' to an apartment

You've worked hard all your life, probably lived in a big house in the suburbs while you raised your children, and now its time for a change...  The kids have finished school or Uni and left home, and now you've got lots of rooms you don't need and a garden that requires constant maintenance.  Like many people around Australia, you might be thinking about 'life-sizing' and finding a home that better suits your lifestyle needs.

You are likely to be more discerning and have more money to spend on quality accommodation than many other buyers in the apartment market, and will also have very specific requirements.

Some of the most important things to consider in an apartment purchase are location - do you want to stay in the same area just in a smaller place, or are you after a total change of environment, say from an outer suburb to Melbourne's CBD, St Kilda Rd, Southbank or the Docklands? These are all popular precincts for those looking for new, luxury accommodation, minimal maintenance and excellent security. 

People ready to enjoy 'the good life' often have a similar wishlist:  they want to live in a location that offers many entertainment options and lifestyle choices close by such as restaurants, cafes, theatres, cinemas, shopping, the Casino, golf courses, parks and walking tracks.  They also appreciate security, which many of the newer apartment buildings offer with 24-hour concierge services, access cards and full video security. The ability to lock up and leave your home without a care to travel or visit a weekend property has much appeal. 

When you are looking at apartments, be aware that in most cases your existing furniture is unlikely to suit a new, smaller apartment.  Many people decide to start from scratch and furnish their apartment with brand new modern furniture, which often has a lower height profile and is designed to fit into smaller rooms and open plan spaces.

Another aspect to think about when moving from a street where you might have known all the neighbours for years, to a new apartment in a different suburb, is the sense of community which exists.  It is important to spend some time investigating this aspect of any prospective new home, so you know what to expect.
