Buying a new home or apartment is one of the most important decisions in life. This is especially true for young couples and families who are choosing their future place of residence for the first time. One of the key elements of this decision is selecting the right size. How can you choose a home or apartment with the right square footage to meet your needs both now and in the future? In this article, we will provide tips on what to consider.
Consider the number of household members
A fundamental factor influencing the choice of size is the number of people who will be living in the new home or apartment. For a single person or a couple who are just planning to start a family, an apartment with a size of 45-60 m² in the Manufaktura Marki 2 or Osiedlu Młodych development may be entirely sufficient. In such a size, you can easily arrange a cozy bedroom, a living room combined with a kitchen, and an office.
However, if you are planning to significantly expand your family or already have children, it is worth considering a larger size. Homes with a size of 65-80 m², such as those available in the Ogrody Przyjaciół 5 development, will allow for additional space for each family member. In addition to a shared living area, you can then plan separate children’s rooms, which will certainly enhance the comfort of daily life.
Functionality of the space
Not only does the number of square meters matter, but also their functional layout. Smaller areas can be used very effectively if the room arrangement is well thought out. Therefore, in addition to the size itself, pay attention to the interior layout.
Our homes and apartments are designed to maximize every centimeter. For example, open living spaces with a kitchen nook and dining area create a sense of greater spaciousness. It’s also worth considering how much additional storage space you need—check if there is room for built-in wardrobes or, in the case of two-story homes, if there is a storage space under the stairs, as seen in the Zielono Mi development.
Maintenance costs
A larger size not only means greater comfort but also higher maintenance costs. Before making a decision, it’s important to consider the monthly expenses for heating, electricity, and other utilities. The rents in our developments are exceptionally low, which makes the total cost of living in such a home very competitive compared to properties in Warsaw. Thanks to modern construction solutions, you can enjoy a comfortable home that also does not strain your household budget.
Fit with lifestyle
Every family has a different lifestyle and priorities. If you value social life and often host family or friends, you might need a larger living area and a garden for summer gatherings. On the other hand, people who work remotely or artists will need a comfortable space for a home office or studio. In such cases, it’s worth investing in a home that allows for the creation of an appropriate workspace or area for meeting with loved ones.
Choosing the right size is a key element in purchasing a new home. When making this decision, it’s important to consider the number of household members, the functionality of the space, future needs, and maintenance costs. Remember, a home is an investment for years to come—it’s worth ensuring that it meets your expectations both now and in the future.
