Exploring the different floor plans available when moving into a new apartment is truly exciting. Each option offers its own distinct features, but only one will perfectly suit your needs. Here are a few questions to ask yourself to choose the perfect floor plan for your lifestyle:

What Are Your Day-to-Day Needs?

Selecting the ideal floor plan begins with a thoughtful reflection of your lifestyle. How often do you host gatherings or have company over? Do you work remotely and how often? Will the space be shared with other family members, friends or pets? These questions are vital in guiding your decision-making process. For example, if you have children or furry family members, you’re going to want to prioritize optimal space for movement and play. On the other hand, if you work from home, designating a secluded area as your “office” space will be important.

Is Location Important?

Determine the importance of location within the community. Is your heart set on a top-floor unit? Or perhaps you want a poolside view of The Beach Club or proximity of Lexie’s Bistro so you can stop in for your daily Italian aperitivo. Pinpointing these preferences will help narrow down your options.

How Much Storage Do You Need?

Storage requirements are another important aspect to consider when selecting a floor plan. The chosen layout should offer adequate space to accommodate your belongings without clutter. Evaluate the capacity of the closets, pantries and cabinets throughout the living spaces to determine if you’ll be able to sufficiently store anything you wish.

What Are Your Future Needs?

Failing to prepare is preparing to fail so be sure to take some time to contemplate your future needs when selecting a floor plan. While nobody can predict the future and what it brings, planning for aspects such as bedroom count, bathroom availability and the layout of your living spaces is vital. If you’re considering adding to your family, or hosting guests frequently, you’ll want to consider floor plans with extra bathrooms and bedrooms to meet these needs such as The Solace, The Serene or The Twilight. If age and mobility will be a consideration, opting for a first-floor unit may be a forward-thinking decision.
