In fact, 87% of residents say community amenities significantly influence their renting decisions<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Of course, with COVID restrictions still in place, the home has morphed into residents&#8217; safe learning, dining, and entertainment epicenter.

For instance, adding a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">swimming <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pool<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to your luxury building is normally an attractive prospect for residents. However, in light of the pandemic, many residents are coming to expect health and safety amenities in their community, like:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Sanitizing Stations<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; With residents seeing their home as a safe haven, they are requesting amenities to keep them safe<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> including hand sanitizer stations, free masks and gloves, new signage, and procedures to ensure social distancing around the community.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fitness Centers<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; While having a fitness center onsite means that residents won&#8217;t need to find a fitness center within walking distance of the apartment community, pandemic shutdowns and strict limitations on use at gyms across the country mean leasing offices are seeing a dramatic increase in the demand to work out more safely and conveniently within the community. The top four amenities for safer gym experiences on-site include<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Contactless Food Delivery<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Clearly, food delivery is on a meteoric rise thanks to restaurant closures and consumers looking for a break from cooking at home, with 60% of U.S. consumers ordering delivery or takeout once a week<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>3<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

The same-day delivery onslaught has triggered the demand for refrigerated storage lockers in apartment homes. Parcel Pending has seen a nearly 45% uptick in requests for refrigerated lockers this year, showing that renters expect their perishable goods to be stored safely and securely. Parcel Pending offers modern apartment complexes refrigerated lockers as an amenity that reduces liability while boosting safety and customer satisfaction. When it comes to refrigerated lockers, residents sometimes want to know<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8220;<\/span><a href=\"\/en-us\/blog\/what-is-the-order-fulfillment-process\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">what does it mean when your order is in fulfillmen<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">t&#8221;?

However, it&#8217;s just as important to have entertainment-based <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">apartment complex amenities<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> your residents can enjoy. Here are a few amenities worth considering for your community:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Wi-Fi Enabled Common Areas<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; With the lines blurring between work, school, and home, residents are looking to complete their homework, watch a movie, take a break, or simply &#8220;chillax&#8221; safely outside the confines of their apartment unit. Savvy property managers are opting for managed Wi-Fi, which allows for Internet access property-wide. Overall, community-wide Wi-Fi creates a better living experience for residents.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Rooftop Decks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Research shows that investing in a rooftop deck not only has a positive return on investment but also attracts and retains residents too<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>5<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Lush landscaping boosts the aesthetic appeal of the apartment building and acts as a natural insulation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lowering heat\/air conditioning costs. Some property managers, in New York, for example, are creating flexibility in their outdoor spaces&#8217; floor plan by repurposing cabanas as outdoor schools and installing movable furniture<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><sup>6<\/sup><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Movie Theaters <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; The pandemic has clearly rewritten the rules for movie watching. With most theatres still closed and Universal and AT&amp;T&#8217;s Warner Bros inking a deal shrinking or eliminating the window for theatrical releases, watching from home is the new reality. Although for the time being luxury rentals are limiting movie<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">watching parties, property managers expect the demand for a movie experience at home to come roaring back. Adding an additional space for movies typically doesn&#8217;t cost much when building a new apartment community. We recommend considering a movie theatre space for your residents.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Convenience Amenities<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to property management, having amenities for convenience can be beneficial for both management and residents.
