Uptown Dallas is experiencing a boom in the real estate market and many luxury buyers are eyeing the area for their next home. If you’re in the market for a new condo, you may want to visit a few Uptown Dallas condos and see what developers have to offer. With luxury living on the rise in many major cities, you will be delighted to see that developers use high-end materials for the interiors of the home, giving the condos you look at a luxurious feel while still feeling like home. Below are some ideas of things you should look for when researching local real estate.
Costs and Fees of Living in the Building
Unlike a suburban home, there are fees associated with living in most Uptown Dallas condos. If you currently live in a suburban neighborhood, you may be familiar with homeowner association fees assessed to each family for upkeep and other costs. A high rise condo development often has the same fees, and the more amenities the building offers the higher the fees. Your real estate agent should be able to tell you the fees associated with the condos you like, and you can factor these costs into the overall investment you’ll make to live in that building.
The Neighborhood
Uptown is a great neighborhood. It’s busy, and it’s growing quickly, but you can’t find a better place to live in Dallas if you want plenty of options for entertainment, shopping, and dining. It also offers some of the best views for penthouse apartments and high rise condos. If you’re not familiar with Dallas, spend some time walking around the Uptown area to get a feel for the vibe. Like most people, you’ll probably fall in love and desire a condo in the area.
Amenities of the Building
Another consideration to take when looking at Uptown Dallas condos is the amenities offered to residents. Is there an on-site spa? Is there a gym? Does the building offer a helpful concierge willing to make dinner reservations for you, call you a car, or even collect your mail? Each building development offers something different, and there is a no one-size-fits-all when it comes to amenities. You may want to make a list of the amenities you feel are a necessity to your lifestyle, and then narrow down your real estate choices.
