Depending on the urgency and distance of your move, it can be difficult to find the time to schedule an in-person apartment tour. Ample online reviews, photos, social media accounts, and virtual tour options can even make it tempting to skip a physical tour altogether!
While it may be necessary to forego an in-person tour under certain circumstances, tours provide potential tenants with vital insight into the appearance, maintenance, amenities, and lifestyle of an apartment complex that simply can’t be found online. At Contemporary Management Concepts, we understand that the internet can be confusing, hard to navigate, and oftentimes misleading! Our apartment rental properties are filled with modern interiors and luxury touches that speak for themselves when viewed firsthand. Continue reading to learn more about the benefits of scheduling an in-person apartment tour.
Scheduling an in-person tour allows you to evaluate the condition of your apartment more thoroughly than you can from online photos and videos. Unpleasant smells, loud environments, and other deterrents can only be efficiently assessed in person.
Tours also give potential tenants the opportunity to ask questions and receive answers in real time, leaving nothing to chance when it comes time to move in. If you are considering one of our Jacksonville, Lakeland, Tampa, Alachua, Winter Park, or Gainesville apartments, reach out today to schedule a tour with a member of our team!
What is a resort-style pool or a state-of-the-art fitness center, anyway? Scheduling an in-person apartment tour gives potential tenants the unique opportunity to explore all of the complex’s available on-site amenities. Ask your leasing agent to show you the various amenities available on the property. Is everything well-maintained and clean? Do you see yourself using these features frequently?
While you may not want to go for a swim or work up a sweat right after your apartment tour, this is your chance to try out as many of the amenities as you can before making the decision to sign a lease. Taste-test the complimentary coffee, try out the comfy chairs in the lobby, or play a quick game of shuffleboard before heading out—these can all be important factors to consider before concluding your apartment search.
Apartment tours provide valuable insight into the everyday lives of the residents at the property you are touring. Throughout your tour, take note of your surroundings. Are the amenities well-used? Do the residents seem comfortable? In-person tours also give potential tenants the opportunity to ask current residents about their living experience and to observe the culture of each apartment complex that you visit.
Apartment tours are the perfect excuse to explore the surrounding city that you will be living in. After your tour, try out local restaurants and bars, visit nearby shops, and drive past nearby entertainment venues. If you plan to study or work nearby, test out the commute to work or class. As nice as an apartment may be, nothing beats a convenient, thriving location!
