Asking different people what they consider to be luxury Manhattan condos will invariably give you a different answer each time. That is because it is hard to describe the term luxurious, especially when it comes to a living space. Some think the term describes the size while others think it only means the price. Still others think it means the furnishings, locations and other aspects of the condo when determining whether it is luxurious or not.
Size
The square-footage of the condominium is what makes it luxurious for many people. You want to have enough space to live comfortably, no matter how many people you have in the home. Typically, at least 1,000 square feet is needed for one bedroom, one bath condo to consider it luxury though some people think having two bathrooms a luxurious option. Three bed, three bath options should typically have about 2,500 square feet while four bedrooms may have 3,000 and five bedrooms may offer over 4,000 square feet.
Price
The purchase price usually dictates the luxuriousness of the condo you’re considering. Most people would say that if you paid over one million dollars for the place, it is luxurious. However, others focus on the monthly fees to determine luxuriousness because the more amenities you’re offered, the more expensive the monthly payment will be.
Location
For others, the location is what you’d consider for high-quality or posh dwellings, as some of the best condo options are in big, famous cities. For example, New York, California and even Florida are usually considered the best locations to live, each with their own famous or well-known cities.
Amenities
Almost everyone factors in the facilities provided when considering whether they are luxurious or not. For example, valet dry cleaning, allowing pets in the rooms, temperature controlled storage, and bicycle storage are typically seen as important by many. Other popular options include a children’s playroom, fitness center, Yoga or spa studios, rooftop lounges and private gardens are also great assets.
Still others will prefer having a resident manager, two private entrances with doormen, hotel-style concierge service, on-site parking with valet service, specialty “clubs” offering private lounges and kitchens and even panoramic views.
Everyone is different, and everyone has different tastes. It’s up to you to determine what means luxurious in your book and search for dwellings that offer those options.
Luxury Manhattan condos are typically more expensive because they are larger, in a better location, have fine furnishings and excellent amenities. Consider Manhattan House, 200 East 66th Street today to learn about availability and more.
