Suppose you are an experienced investor expanding your real estate portfolio or a new investor trying to figure out your way in the industry. In that case, you’ve undoubtedly come across a luxury investment property. However, luxury rentals can seem intimidating due to the initial investment needed.
Luxury rentals are a subset of the overall rental market. Luxury rentals are often exclusive properties with unique features, luxurious amenities, and premium materials located in a great neighborhood. Today we’ll go over a few aspects of what a luxury rental means.
Luxury rentals will typically only exist in specific neighborhoods. Long Beach, CA Neighborhoods include Naples, Belmont Shore, and Belmont Heights. These neighborhoods will often have a high standard of security.
The surrounding homes will often be modern, higher-end, or older, well-maintained historic homes. The roads and streets are regularly taken care of, and the community works together to keep their neighborhood safe and well-maintained, often through a homeowners association.
To get rent consistent with a luxury property, the property has to be on trend. Whether it's a home or condominium, the property needs top-rate finishes such as granite, quartzite, and marble. Beautiful and well-kept flooring made of natural stone, exotic hardwood, and ceramic tile. The investment property should have little to no blemishes.
Though it cannot be seen, sound can affect the residents. While most condos have some soundproofing, the quietest is the best. Acoustic insulation and soundproof windows are a large part of the rental. Modern appliances such as Viking, Wolf, and Cove need to be included.
Luxury rentals need to provide everything the tenant may need and then some. In luxury condominiums and apartments, tenants expect pet-friendly amenities, outdoor kitchens and dining areas, and EV charging stations. Some of the best luxury buildings have on-site staff to provide services to the residents, such as delivery personnel, dog walking, and valet parking.
In-unit amenities should include
smart home systems
to allow the tenant to control the rental through their phone. High-speed wireless internet throughout the property ensures your residents can stay connected while visiting the common areas or gym. This allows them to stream, download and work regardless of their location in the luxury rental.
Although the tenant's preference determines the “ideal” luxury rental, many modern luxury buildings have unique architectural features, such as 400 W Ocean Blvd. Though it can also be a well-kept, beautiful historical building, a luxury rental should offer its residents a high standard of living. Elegant features such as common areas with natural walkways, poolside sundecks, and community gardens are often used to relax. While having coworking spaces, a fitness center, and a game room can be ideal for tenants with limited time.
Oceanside properties will often have an amazing view over the beach. Depending on the season, a fascinating view can be nearly impossible to put a price on. A view may not be important for every tenant, but for the tenants who are looking for one, it will be a must-have.
