Indeed, the joy of family living always starts in having your own home—whether it’s in a house, townhouse or a rented condominium unit.
Today, however, there is a growing trend of raising families in vertical developments as most parents prefer to live in the heart of the city.
Being near their workplace enables them to reduce travel hours and thus, spend more time with their loved ones.
But not all high-rise buildings are well-equipped to provide an environment where you can ideally raise a child. Allow us to give you some helpful tips on how to determine whether your choice of condo is the best place for you to raise a family and watch your children grow.
Better interaction
Check if your building has allotted at least 15 percent of their total units to two-bedroom cuts and about 10 percent to three-bedroom units.
These units should be situated near each other and housed on the lower floors. Proximity of such units allow better interaction with neighbors who have kids as well.
There must be ample room for outdoor spaces. Playgrounds, swimming pools and activity areas should be made available in your building.
This would allow adults to supervise kids outdoors from an indoor vantage point. Also, it gives children the chance for an observed yet independent playtime.
Convenience
The ground floor must have a pharmacy and affordable grocery stores to provide condo dwellers the convenience of being able to purchase their basic needs within the confines of their building. Also, this promotes a more active street life within the community.
Storage space is always a concern. Check if your condo has room for stowing bulky items for your children’s needs, such as a parking lot for strollers or toy bikes.
It is also recommended that a day care must be located within the lower floors of the building. These childcare facilities must be manned by trustworthy and efficient personnel.
Attached outdoors spaces such as a a patio or balcony must be large enough so that an entire family can gather in them.
