There are certain areas of life where you should never settle. Your mattress is a good example, because it’s where most people spend a third of their lives. Your residence is yet another area where settling impacts your lifestyle more than you might think.
This is especially true when it comes to apartments in San Antonio. Amenities, in particular, are an area that can meaningfully add to your experience and how comfortable you feel in daily life. While you have options for luxury apartments in The Alamo City, there are certain amenities they must have to be on your consideration list.
From a resort-style pool to updated appliances, make sure the San Antonio apartment you choose has these amenities:
1. Resort-Style Pool
Picture yourself basking in the warm Texan sun beside a shimmering pool, surrounded by lush landscaping (including palm trees) and relaxing lounge chairs. A resort-style pool is not just a luxury—it’s a sanctuary where residents can unwind after a long day. It’s also ideal for entertaining guests on the weekends. Lyra Apartments understands the importance of this amenity, which is why we provide a serene oasis right beyond your doorstep at our San Antonio apartments.
2. State-of-the-Art Fitness Center
Health and wellness are another important area of life, and a fully equipped fitness center makes it easier to prioritize your wellbeing. Look for on-site gyms that feature cardio machines, free weights, yoga equipment and plenty of floor space. When everything you need to exercise is just a short walk away, it not only saves you money on gym memberships, but makes it easier to maintain an active lifestyle. If you can find apartments in San Antonio with a fitness center that is open 24 hours a day (like Lyra), that’s icing on the cake.
3. Updated Appliances
Sleek, modern apartments deserve top-of-the-line appliances. Look for San Antonio apartments with stainless steel or black appliances, as these are the most durable and are the easiest to coordinate with your decor. The kitchen is where appliances are used the most, so make sure the apartments you consider are ideal for cooking and/or entertaining. Appliances should be more of a joy than a chore, so whether you’re a culinary enthusiast or simply enjoy the occasional home-cooked meal, appliances must be updated and in good working order.
4. Pet-Friendly Features
Pets are more than just companions; they’re cherished members of the family. That’s why, for starters, the San Antonio apartments on your list should accept pets (and your pet’s breed). At Lyra Apartments, for example, we allow up to two pets per apartment home and welcome a variety of breeds. But we don’t stop there. We have an on-site dog park for pets to enjoy, as well as convenient access to the variety of parks, walking paths and outdoor areas that you’ll find in North San Antonio.
5. Rejuvenating Outdoor Spaces
When you’re not out and about in the Alamo City, you still might want to catch a few of the sun’s rays on occasion. It’s healthy and rejuvenating to step outside on an outdoor patio or balcony for at least a few minutes each day, so make sure it’s included in your floor plan. But if your apartment complex has outdoor amenities like a fire pit lounge, walking path, seating, barbecue grills and other perks like you’ll find at Lyra Apartments, that’s even better. Just make sure there is some sort of outdoor space for you to enjoy during the day to day.
6. Useful Business Center
A business center isn’t really an amenity if you can’t use it for anything, which is why a useful business center is another must-have amenity for San Antonio luxury apartments. At Lyra, you’ll enjoy a variety of amenities at our community clubhouse and business center, from the Java bar with lots of coffee options to 24-hour package lockers and an on-site laundry facility. The business center is open 24 hours as well and our friendly staff and maintenance teams are both responsive and easily accessible.
7. Worry-Free Parking
It goes without saying that your San Antonio apartment should offer free parking. If not, you might want to remove them from consideration or prepare to add some extra expenses into your budget. But there are other features that can give you extra peace of mind about parking your vehicle. Covered parking, for example, keeps your vehicle protected in the event of hail or other adverse weather conditions. A controlled access gate also reduces stress by limiting the number of unwelcome visitors who may want to enter your vehicle.
These are just a few must-have amenities for San Antonio luxury apartments. To see these perks (and more) at Lyra Apartments, contact us today to schedule a tour.
