Apartment Living – A Community Lifestyle
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.
