Duplex Serviced Apartments
Why are duplex apartments being popular?
They are popular in urban areas where space is limited, as they offer more square footage than traditional single-floor apartments while still providing the convenience of apartment living. They can vary in size and configuration, ranging from one bedroom to more than 3 bedrooms.
What is a duplex apartment?
A duplex apartment is a type of residential unit that occupies two floors within a building. Typically, it consists of two separate living spaces connected by an internal staircase. The layout often includes common areas such as living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms on one level, while bedrooms and additional living spaces are situated on the other level.
Pros
-
Duplex apartments generally offer more space than traditional single-floor apartments, providing residents with more room to live and potentially allowing for greater customization and flexibility in interior design.
-
The layout of a duplex apartment, with separate floors for different living functions, can provide a sense of separation and privacy between living spaces, making it suitable for families or roommates who desire some level of separation.
-
Duplex apartments often feature unique architectural elements such as internal staircases, mezzanine levels, or loft spaces, adding character and charm to the living space.
Cons
-
The presence of stairs in duplex apartments can be a downside for residents with mobility issues or those who prefer single-level living. Moving furniture and groceries between floors may also be more challenging.
-
Duplex serviced apartments may come with a higher price tag compared to single-floor apartments, reflecting the additional space and amenities they offer. Additionally, maintenance and repair costs may be higher due to the complexity of the layout.
-
Maintaining consistent temperatures throughout a duplex apartment can be more challenging and may require separate heating and cooling systems for each floor, potentially leading to higher utility costs.
