Instantly Level Up Your Philadelphia Apartment Listings
Standing out as the latest sought-after apartment complex in Philadelphia is no small feat. The city is in a constant state of growth and improvement, with real estate developers hard at work around every corner. How can you make your Philadelphia apartment complex stand out? Like they always say, it’s the little things. Living in a big city is always going to be expensive. Your potential tenants likely have a budget in mind and a wide variety of properties available that fall into that category. But what about that complex with private parking? Or a rooftop deck, in-unit laundry, or something else?
It’s the convenient, eye-catching touches that close deals. We’re here to tell you about the easiest & most affordable ways to instantly level up your apartment listings.
This article is for real estate investors at any stage of the process. Whether you just bought a rental property, have owned one for years, or are in the process of building your next rental, you’re in a position to add value. Let’s get started.
Make Use of All Outdoor Spaces
The pandemic changed all of us, including those seeking out their next house or apartment. It changed city life and what those in the city prioritize about their homes. Most of all, it made outdoor spaces non negotiable. Any remote worker in Philly can tell you how much their rooftop deck, balcony, or patio means to them. It’s no longer considered a luxury to have a skyline view of Philadelphia, it’s almost expected.
But developing outdoor spaces for your property doesn’t have to be a six-digit investment. In Philly, it’s often easier to build up than it is outwards. That’s why countless property managers across the U.S. are putting their money on rooftop experiences. Pergolas, outdoor furniture, string lights, and lush greenery come together to create unforgettable spaces. Many property managers spread the effects of their investment by creating shared roof decks & communal outdoor spaces. If building up is not an option for you, we’ll talk about what you can do to take your patio to the next level.
Keep Parking Neat & Simple
If you’re in the process of building your next rental home or apartment complex, make sure you’re planning for the right amount of vehicles per tenant. In a big city like Philadelphia, good parking is a form of currency. This could mean adding a carport area, small lot, or parking garage. If you can do it, it will be worth your while. If you’re not in a position to add parking spaces, keep everything you do have as neat as possible. This means replacing rusty signs, bent poles, and so forth. Keep sidewalks and any cement on your property in good condition. Keep any road markings or paint on the property fresh. Your prospective tenants won’t notice that the paint is fresh and the signs are new, they’ll notice that they’re touring a high-end & well-maintained property.
Add Greenery—Everywhere
Leafy accents do a lot more than you think to elevate an apartment. Adding well-maintained florals & plants to both the interior and exterior of your complex will go a long way. Fresh flowers in the lobby, a tropical plant display in the mailroom, and lush greenery create a natural oasis out of the patio. Arguably the most affordable way to increase the value of your apartment listings, touches of nature in Philadelphia never go unnoticed.
