APARTMENTS OFFER FRIENDLY LIVING

The number of high-rise apartment buildings continues to mushroom not only in the center of the city but also in suburban areas. This shows that many Indonesians enjoy living in apartments. This is so for a number of reasons.

In the first place, people prefer to live in an apartment because it is located near their offices; they can save time and energy as they don’t have to experience terrible traffic jams.

In addition, they enjoy the new life style because an apartment offers comfort and privacy and they don’t have to worry about the city’s high crime rate because most apartments have 24-hour security systems.

Moreover, people now enjoy practicality, and this is reflected in the design of their place: living rooms become smaller and verandah is no longer considered important part of the house.

From the facts above, it is clear that apartments offer friendly living and will be more constructed in Indonesian cities in the future.
