Every luxury property buyer has the opportunity to choose between different types of premium homes. In our article we will introduce you to the types of luxury properties, what their main features are and the advantages they have. Read more here!
First of all, we will consider the house as a type of property intended for living. Usually houses are low buildings, with one, two or even three floors, which have their own yard. Depending on the construction, houses are divided into single-family, semi-detached and terraced houses. A characteristic feature of single-family houses is their privacy. Typically, a single household or family lives in the single-family luxury home type. As their name suggests, semi-detached houses are occupied by 2 families or households. Often they are the so-called twin houses. Terraced houses are long rows of buildings, each housing one family.
Luxury houses usually have extra features such as more space, a large yard that can accommodate an outdoor pool, fountains, even a tennis court. It all depends on the buyer's requirements and capabilities.
The apartment is the most popular type of residential property that people choose for both permanent and temporary occupancy. As you know, apartments are part of large apartment buildings, but boutique housing is usually located in a smaller building with a modern architectural look.
The exclusive homes are designed in such a way that each resident feels comfortable and has enough space. This applies to smaller luxury apartments such as boxers and one-bedroom apartments, as well as those designed for larger families such as two-, three- and multi-bedroom apartments.
Speaking of apartments, we will also focus on a different type, namely the penthouse. This type of residential property usually has two floors with modern and evolved architecture. They combine the best features of apartments - good location, security and the biggest advantages of houses - unique design and large area. Traditionally maisonettes can be found in the central parts of the city. Thus, residents are offered the feeling of remoteness from the city noise, and at the same time are located in close proximity to first-class bars, restaurants and cultural centers.
Buying a home in a gated community is becoming an increasingly popular option for luxury property buyers. Gated complexes are set apart as self-contained units to which access by outsiders is controlled. It is characterized by low condominium construction and lower density. In addition, gated complexes offer spacious green areas, dining facilities, playgrounds, fitness centres and other amenities located within the complex where residents can spend their leisure time.
Buyers of luxury properties are often faced with the question of what type of home suits their needs. That's why we're presenting the benefits of different types of luxury properties so you can navigate the best choice for you.
In order to make an informed decision on whether to purchase a luxury house, apartment, penthouse or condominium you need to be aware of the advantages and disadvantages of each of these types of exclusive homes.
Undoubtedly, the house has a number of advantages that certainly make it worth investing in this type of property. To begin with, you can choose between an already built modern house or a project in which you will choose what the features of the property should be, depending on your preferences. Buying a townhouse gives you the opportunity to have a large backyard space to enjoy your favorite outdoor activities such as playing tennis with friends on your own tennis court, barbecue nights, or gathering in the sunshine by the outdoor pool, just steps away from your home. However, keep in mind that the upkeep of this type of property is a bit more complicated than maintaining an apartment, a factor you shouldn't underestimate given your longer stay. However, cosiness, comfort and large spaces stand at the forefront and often prevail when deciding to buy a luxury home.

A significant advantage of the apartments is the lower selling price and consequently the lower maintenance costs of the property. Living in a boutique condominium with several apartments in it allows for the creation of many close friendships with neighbors. Another advantage of the apartments is the modern architectural look, the high quality of the materials used to construct the buildings, and the maintenance of the common areas.
It is good to know, however, that apartment living requires consideration for neighbours - including consideration for repair schedules. In addition, the risk of a very noisy neighbour moving in next door and disturbing your peace of mind cannot be underestimated either.

Apart from the large living space you will have, here are a few more advantages of this type of residential property. The privacy that a home can offer is also a very attractive feature for luxury property buyers. This includes both private balconies, providing you with unique views, as well as entering through a private entrance. Large spaces (in this case, we're not just talking about the larger living area, but also the large size of the individual rooms - large bedrooms, spacious bathrooms, large balcony and living room) continue to be the driving factor for buyers. Maisonettes are a good option for large families, as everyone can have plenty of private space. Flexibility is also not to be underestimated, after all, the larger living area allows for reconfiguration to suit the needs of the whole family.

An undeniable advantage of gated complexes is security. As already mentioned, gated complexes have controlled access to outsiders. They have both live security and permanent video surveillance. This makes life in this type of complex extremely safe and protected from any criminal activity. A factor that is not without importance especially for families with young children who are looking for their new home.
Another significant advantage is peace of mind. Gated complexes are usually built outside the big city and have wide green areas. This adds to the peace of mind of the residents. In order to make everyone feel safe and enjoy the tranquility outside the noisy city, gated communities have an established set of house rules that are strictly followed. For some buyers, this may be a disadvantage, but for connoisseurs of prime real estate, establishing rules within the compound is an advantage.
As you know, living in a gated community also requires a maintenance fee for the entire complex. Thanks to the professional maintenance, visitors always enjoy perfectly cleaned streets, well-kept green spaces and facilities on the territory of the complex.
Not to underestimate the availability of numerous amenities such as shops, restaurants, dry cleaners, hairdressers, beauty studios, gyms, spas, swimming pools, tennis courts, gyms, playgrounds, bike paths, etc. Thus, the residents will have everything they need for their daily life, they will be able to practice their favorite outdoor and indoor activities. Nowadays, most of the people living in the big city, and in Sofia in particular, are faced with the challenge of finding a free parking space for their personal car. Thus, owning a parking space or a garage has become an advantage and a mandatory element of the offer for the sale of both luxury property and those of the lower price class. Well, every home in a gated community has space for a personal vehicle be it a garage or a parking space.
