The way people buy houses has changed dramatically over the years. The desire has moved beyond just owning a house in a good area, where location and quality matter. Builders are now rethinking and renovating outside areas as high-end homebuyers want a whole new living experience. The desire to have a better life and changes witnessed during the COVID-19 pandemic have led to a rising demand for outdoor amenities, forcing the developers to rethink about the importance of outdoor activities. Having all the amenities under one roof can save time, allowing people to spend more time with their families. A host of amenities readily available under a roof within a gated complex saves time, allowing more leisure time to spend with family members. People can relax during evenings and engage in fun activities together, creating lasting memories and improving overall well-being.
Health and wellness amenities
Spa, Yoga & ZUMBA Studios
Post-pandemic, health and wellness activities have become very important for homeowners. Developers are increasingly integrating facilities like spas, yoga and ZUMBA studios within residential complexes. These areas provide a sanctuary for residents to unwind and rejuvenate without leaving their homes. Yoga, and ZUMBA studios offer a dedicated area for meditation and exercise, promoting mental and physical well-being.
Open Gyms
The demand for fitness amenities has surged, leading developers to incorporate open gyms in their projects. These outdoor fitness areas allow residents to exercise in a natural environment, blending the benefits of physical activities with the therapeutic effects of being in outdoor areas. Equipped with modern machinery and ample space for workouts, these gyms cater to all fitness enthusiasts.
Designated Jogging Tracks
Designated running paths within residential complexes provide a safe and convenient option for those who enjoy jogging or walking. These paths often meander through landscaped gardens and green areas, enhancing the experience with scenic views and fresh air.
Recreational Amenities
Dance or Banquet Halls: Recreational facilities, such as dance and banquet halls are becoming increasingly popular in upscale areas. They are designed for social gatherings, celebrations, and events, offering residents the convenience of hosting parties within their community.
Sports Facilities: Upscale projects include outdoor sports facilities, such as Olympic-sized swimming pools, versatile sports courts, and mini-golf courses. These amenities provide diverse physical activities and sporting options, promoting an active lifestyle among residents.
Leisure Amenities
Cafes and Community Centres
Cafes and community centres help create vibrant social hubs within residential complexes. Cafes offer a cozy and convenient spot to unwind, socialise, or work in a relaxed atmosphere, fostering a sense of community. Equipped with versatile areas for events, workshops, and activities, these zones provide a venue for residents to engage in cultural, educational, and recreational pursuits. Screening films or matches for residents further enhances these communal areas, offering entertainment and shared experience.
Shopping and Retail
Leisure amenities like shopping and retail, within residential complexes offer convenience to residents. Supermarkets, boutiques, and specialty stores within the premises allow homeowners to fulfil their daily needs without commuting, saving time and money.
Landscaped Gardens and Walking Paths
Impeccably kept gardens and walking routes allow individuals to connect with nature and relax. These areas are designed to be aesthetically pleasing and functional, providing a peaceful retreat within the community.
Access to green and open areas reduces traffic and pollution. Being in nature reduces stress and improves wellness. Developers increasingly prioritise the entire ecosystems that meet residents’ changing needs. This includes adding large open areas and a variety of outdoor features to make properties more appealing and meet modern homeowners’ needs. Developers are improving inhabitants’ well-being and ambitions by building gated communities with large open areas and other amenities. This trend signals a future where the homebuyers’ choice is also defined by the outdoor facilities. As we look ahead, integrating nature and luxury will continue to reshape modern living, ensuring that residents enjoy a balanced and fulfilling life within their communities.
