When your lease is up and it’s time to find a new place to call home, apartment living provides an affordable, convenient, and community-oriented option. But as many renters know, not all apartments are created equal, and what once was seen as a fresh start could quickly become a home horror story.
In 2022, the Nashville Business Journal reported that the Music City was poised to be the fastest-growing apartment market in the country, with 9,000+ new communities making their way to the state capital.
As these new builds open their doors to eager renters in 2023, it’s well worth considering what they may have to offer in your search for a new space.
Benefits of New Apartment Living
Everything is new and modern
If you’re used to apartment buildings that haven’t been renovated since their grand opening 20 years ago, you’ll be in for a pleasant surprise when you tour new construction builds in Nashville.
Boasting trendy building designs and floorplans, new apartments are constructed with modernity in mind — from the height of your ceilings to the materials that make up your countertops. While there are many features you may find at a new apartment that might not be characteristic of an older build, some common ones include:
- In-unit washers and dryers
- Walk-in closets
- Granite countertops
- Stainless steel appliances
Aside from the up-to-date features of new apartments, residents also enjoy less move-in work required of older communities. Because you’ll likely be one of the first renters of your new apartment, you’ll have less heavy cleaning and disinfecting on your plate — a move-in step that often comes with making a used space yours.
Potential for lower electricity bills
According to the Healthy Journal, heating and cooling appliances account for about 45-50% of annual electricity bills in a typical household. These figures are followed closely by water heater and lighting appliances, at 12% and 9-12%, respectively.
For households with energy-inefficient appliances, the amount spent on your average electricity bill might just leave you in shock.
The good news is that many new-build homes and apartments in Nashville, TN are now built to high energy-efficiency standards, meaning they are designed to conserve and reduce energy use. These communities often feature a slew of energy-efficient appliances, including:
- Bathroom water heaters
- Dishwashers
- Refrigerators
- Microwaves
- Washers and dryers
- Ovens
In addition to lowering your utility bills each month, choosing an apartment with energy-efficient appliances also helps you minimize your environmental footprint, so you can do your part to care for the city you know and love.
Plenty of amenities
No apartment is without its amenities, both in-unit and within the common areas. But new builds take basic amenities a step further, offering updated perks that might not be available in units constructed in the early 2000s.
Multi-room fitness centers, dog grooming/walking sites, expansive swimming pools, and movie rooms are only a few of the on-site amenities that newer builds may flaunt. It’s also not uncommon for new apartments to emphasize community living, with plenty of opportunities to meet neighbors through holiday parties, movie screenings, and BBQs by the pool.
Aside from the many community features, new apartments also include a suite of in-unit amenities, such as:
- Balconies
- Patios
- Fireplaces
- Garages
To be sure that the new apartments you’re considering have the amenities you’re looking for, it’s a good idea to request a tour of any available model homes and peruse the site during your visit.
