Apartment Living – A Community Lifestyle

By Skyward,

While sitting on the balcony of my apartment I was lost in my thoughts. Ignoring the spectacular view of margalla hills I was thinking if I had made a right choice by moving into a apartment or not. These were the thoughts racing through my mind a few weeks before and now I know that I made the right decision. For the people who have this question let me guide you on this.

Apartment living is a simpler way of living, which translates to a happier, lower-stress life. A simpler lifestyle provides the space to figure out what matters most and the freedom to focus on these things.

A smaller space simply can’t fit a lot of material things in it. It’s minimalist by design. This reality forces you to edit your life constantly by making decisions about what stays in your home.

An apartment’s smaller space allows families to be more present for one another. This leads to more connection and more shared experiences.

You will talk more, play more, and do more together because you’re closer together in proximity although apartments are still big enough to allow breathing room when needed.

Apartment complexes come with a built-in community. Many have weekly activities or a clubhouse where people often meet. This can be beneficial, especially for house wives and senior citizens.

Apartment living helps shape your finances around the lifestyle you feel most attracted to. If your family values relationships, traveling, health, and generosity, but your finances are going toward home projects and repairs, then you won’t be able to focus as much on those values

Happiness is found in being true to yourself and your values not someone else’s. Studies also show time and time again that more possessions don’t ultimately make us happier rather it is the experiences and memories that make us more content.

Any living space requires maintenance Apartments, by design, are easy to keep tidy. Less space means less to clean in less time. When cleaning doesn’t seem too much, you’ll be more motivated to do it. And the peace that comes from a clean, tidy living space will motivate you to maintain this feel in your home.

Islamabad is on the pathway to become a city of high rise buildings. Not so long ago the trust in apartment buildings was fading away due to occurrence of earthquakes and due to the societal taboos attached to vertical living. But now as the building quality is constantly improving and the facilities being given by the developers, people are moving towards high rise residential towers.

Real Estate Investment – A Key to Growth

By Skyward,

Real Estate has emerged as a popular way to invest in recent times. Everybody wants to build a home or buy a property from which they can earn i.e rental property.

Real estate is great investment with gains both long term and short term. It is a valuable asset as Mark Twain puts it, “Buy land. They’re not making it anymore”. Due to financial and technological advancements real estates value has sky rocketed but that doesn’t mean that you should invest anywhere, this investment should be done very carefully preferably through experienced real estate consultants.

Investing in real estate can be tricky as there are many fraudulent schemes too but with the help of real estate professionals the process should be smooth and safe. There are multiple types of real estate investments:

Home Ownership

Everybody wants to own a house. The first thing you should do is contact a certified real estate consultant. Buying a house is easy as long as you’re buying from a proper real estate firm. This investment usually requires a hefty amount but the return on this property are great as you can sell it after appreciation or earn income through rent.

Land Ownership

You can also invest in real estate by buying a piece of land through proper real estate channels. This is considered the safest investment in real estate as it does not require any maintenance or any other cost whatsoever.

Commercial Properties

Apart from residential properties like houses and apartments you can also invest in real estate by buying commercial properties such as plazas, malls, shops. These properties pay off the highest amount of appreciation in the real estate sector as their prices keep rising even after full development of the area. But these properties are often expensive but a great way to invest in real estate.

Apartments

The most affordable investment in the real estate sector can be done by purchasing apartments in residential buildings. Multiple real estate developers construct residential buildings  which are a affordable and more convenient option than investing in a house.

Due to rise in demand of housing, apartments are the most lucrative investment in real estate as they provide affordable and maintenance free housing for families plus they also create a sense of community as people are in proximity of each other and share spaces such as garden and parking lot.

Firstly, it is a physical asset, a tangible asset. People trust those investments which they understand and can see. This is an investment which does not require high literacy as it is simple in nature. Real estate resists inflation, so when the whole market is crashing down your investment stands safe and sound with minimal to no losses.

Modern Days Living – Apartment or Home What to Choose

Modern Days Living – Apartment or Home What to Choose

By Skyward,

Houses since the beginning of modern times have been used for living. Houses are mostly preferred because these structures are thought to be more stable as they are not heighted and the orthodox idea of having more space in terms of rooms, garden, parking lot and privacy.

They are thought to be less prone to natural catastrophes such as earthquakes. Idea behind the house is to raise a family but in recent times the joint family system is seen on a decline. Most houses now host 2-3 people as children grow up and move out in search of employment and other endeavors. Houses are expensive to maintain owing to their huge size. The community engagement in those areas is relatively low.

In recent times high rise buildings have the attention of the populace especially young generation as they are relatively cheaper. The idea of vertical housing is based on the premise of land saving when the population of the world is growing at a fast pace.

Another reason apart from being a cheaper alternative is that the cost of maintenance is very low and the area surrounding the complex is maintained by the management. Shared parks, pool, lobby and parking lots give residents a chance to engage more creating a sense of community between strangers.

A critique on high rises was on their structure and how the buildings are susceptible to earthquakes but modern technology has eradicated this problem. Building materials and construction techniques now are able to withstand earthquakes upto 9.5 richter scale.

Return on Investment – Banking Vs Real Estate

When it comes to investing money people are generally confused due to lack of information about investment opportunities. Usually banks are considered safest when it comes to saving or investing money.

Banks usually give profit on money saved in saving accounts or return on money invested in other businesses the bank does. Saving accounts give 6-8% appreciation whereas investing in businesses and mutual funds pays off to 10-12%.

Customer has the option of receiving returns monthly, quarterly or annually. Banks are considered to be safe and non volatile but do not promise high returns rather fixed returns over a specific period of time. Funds invested by the banks are subject to market volatility and inflation which can result in loss in return on investment.

Real estate in modern times has risen as a promising investment opportunity with high returns. Returns range from 17-22% on average and in some cases can even climb higher than the said profit.

Real estate is considered a safe and stable investment as it is a physical asset. People tend to put their trust and money in assets which are physical in nature plus their buying and selling is relatively easier.

Real estate is a stable source of rental income supported by the appreciation of property value over time. It is also resists the impact of inflation whereas other investments i.e commodity businesses and stock markets suffer.

A simple example can be taken of the sector D-12, one kanal plot was valued at 35 million rupees in 2018 and in 2021 that same plot costs 60 million rupees, a whopping 23% appreciation annually.
