Many people who are looking for a place to live don’t think that luxury apartments in Toronto are within financial reach. But that’s not always the case for eager apartment hunters. When you take into account everything that’s included in the cost of living in a luxury apartment for rent, you’ll very likely change your tune on that.

Luxury apartments come with a lot of worthwhile perks and amenities that can greatly add to your quality of life. And on top of that, you’ll be living in one of the most culturally diverse and historically rich cities in the world, surrounded by tons of activities, great public transportation, and lively nightlife.

Perks of Living in a Luxury Apartment Community

As you can imagine, there are a lot of perks that come with applying to living in a luxury apartment community in Toronto. The operative word here is “community”. And living in such a tight knit community gives you endless opportunities to get to know your neighbours well.

Here are a few benefits of living in a luxury apartment community:

High-End Security Systems in Place

Living in a luxury apartment for rent in Toronto means that your home will always be well protected. Highly trained security personnel, along with state-of-the-art cameras, will monitor the premises 24/7 without interruptions. Security gates ensure that you’ll always be notified whenever you have guests coming over and only persons who are on your approved list will be granted access. If someone isn’t listed on your approved guest list, then security will contact you to ask permission to grant access.

Breathtaking Fully Furnished Living Spaces

Renting a luxury apartment from a rental company like MAC Furnished Residences Inc. means you won’t have to worry about furnishing your new high-end living space. Major appliances and furniture like couches, chairs, dining tables, beds, and credenzas will all be provided for you. All you have to do is add a few personal touches like family photographs and decorations to make the space more fitting for your preferences.

Depending on your needs—whether you’re living the bachelor/bachelorette life or have a family—you should always ask about square footage and find out how many bedrooms and bathrooms are available before signing a lease agreement. If possible, try viewing the apartment in person to see if you can envision yourself and your family living there.

Great Location and Stunning Views

The real estate industry always emphasizes the importance of a great location and stunning views of the city. Location is important because you want to make sure that you’re within a reasonably close distance to grocery stores, restaurants, shopping centers, schools (if you have kids), doctor’s offices, and your place of employment. One of the main points of moving into a fully furnished luxury apartment in the city is to improve your quality of life in the process. And a great way to do that is to reduce your commute time to work as much as possible. Make sure that the location of the luxury apartment you choose to rent is convenient, has excellent tenant and visitor parking, and easy access to public transportation in case you need it.

While having a stunning view isn’t always a top priority for a lot of people renting luxury furnished homes, it certainly doesn’t hurt. Imagine getting home from a long, stressful workday and sitting out on your balcony or veranda and taking in a breathtaking view of the Toronto skyline. Now that’s what we call high style living!

Access to Various Amenities

Luxury apartments in Toronto offer a wide variety of great amenities for tenants and their guests to take advantage of and enjoy. From swimming pools to saunas, activity rooms, game rooms, state-of-the-art gyms, party rooms, and even rooftop decks or gardens, there’s so much to see and do right on the premises that you most likely won’t even want to bother venturing too far away from the building complex. Some luxury apartment complexes even have onsite convenience stores and restaurants located on the first floor of the building to make those late night milk runs a lot easier.

A Feeling of Unparalleled Safety and Security

When living in a tight knit community, there’s nothing like having safety in numbers. We already mentioned the benefits of having high-end security systems in place to protect residents, but another perk is that you can form or join protective community watch programs for an added layer of security throughout the neighbourhood. With people living in such close proximity to one another, it’s easier for neighbours to look out for one another and build a strong sense of trust within the community and possibly even the surrounding areas. This is something that everyone benefits from.

Plan Community Social Gatherings

Unfortunately, neighbourhood block parties have become a thing of the past, but maybe it’s time to bring them back! Luxury apartment complexes make it easier for neighbours to get together and form committees to plan more social events within the community. Whether it’s BBQs on warm summer evenings, sporting events, Bingo, or fundraisers to support the local community at large, there are always tons of great reasons for neighbours to get together and socialize.

Professional Landscaping and Groundskeeping Services

Most luxury apartment rental companies hire professional landscapers to maintain the external aesthetic appeal of the complexes. They plant seasonal greenery, mow the lawn, provide irrigation services, and do snow and ice removal in the winter. These are essential services that help retain and increase the building’s property value as well as its aesthetic appeal.

What’s Included in the Cost of Luxury Apartments?

Some luxury apartments in Toronto include valet parking services, indoor garages, intercom services, utilities, hydro, and more. To find out what you can expect to be included in your monthly rental fee, consult with your landlord.
