What Should I Look for in an Apartment Community?

We receive a lot of questions from prospective residents about what they should look for when choosing an apartment community to call home. We’re here to help answer these questions!

Our team has collected several frequently asked questions from folks looking for apartments for rent. This blog post is the fourth in a recurring series that takes a closer look at common questions when renting an apartment. In case you missed them, check out the first three blog posts in this series: Do I need renters insurance?, How to prepare your apartment for hurricane season, What are your pet policies and fees? This week we cover five frequently asked questions that our teams are asked most often. You can also view our video here on “What Should You Look For in an Apartment – FAQs About Apartments.”

Q: What type of apartment homes are available?

A: Before you know if an apartment community is a good fit for your needs, make sure the community offers the size and type of apartment home you’re looking for. All HHHunt Apartment Living communities offer a variety of 1- and 2-bedroom apartments for rent. Many of our communities also include 3-bedroom apartment homes and some even have larger apartments. A wide variety of floor plans is important so you can find the style of apartment you want. Make sure to check out the HHHunt Apartment Living website to see all the available floor plans, including the monthly rent, in our communities.

Q: Is the community managed by a professional team?

A: When you choose to call an apartment community home, you want the confidence to know that a professional team is taking care of you. It’s important to ask about the experience of the management and service teams. Another valuable question: Are the teams on-site in the community? If not, you may experience delays when you need help or have a question.

All HHHunt Apartment Living management and service teams are located in our communities. Our teams have extensive experience and participate in ongoing training and education. HHHunt also offers 24/7 emergency maintenance, so we’ll respond to your maintenance emergencies no matter the day or time. Plus, HHHunt builds and manages our apartment communities, which means our teams are committed to our residents and communities for the long term. That support is why our customer service is unparalleled. We’re here for you.

Q: What amenities are in the apartment community?

A: If you’re looking for convenience and a relaxing lifestyle, some amenities should be a must. For example, having 24/7 access to an on-site fitness center means you won’t need that gym membership, and you can exercise on your schedule. Pools, sun decks, outdoor grilling areas, dog parks, and other outdoor spaces are top-rated amenities you should ask about.

A community’s clubhouse also is worth considering. This is a space where you can unwind and hang out with friends. Fortunately, all HHHunt Apartment Living communities boast a wide array of community amenities, including all the amenities listed above. Most of our communities have even more! Finally, it’s worth noting that HHHunt invests in our community amenities and is consistently updating and improving amenities to ensure residents can enjoy the lifestyles they deserve.

Q: Are pets allowed?

A: If you’re a pet owner, you know that this question can’t be overlooked. Be sure to ask about pet policies and fees, including breed restrictions. All HHHunt Apartment Living communities offer pet-friendly apartments and pet amenities. Take a look in this pet amenity tour video with our four-legged friend, Moose!

Q: Are the apartments located near schools and job centers?

A: Finding the best place to live is about more than just the apartment and amenities. Location matters! Be sure to ask about schools and job centers near an apartment community. Are schools, employers, grocery stores, shopping and dining close by? Consider where you go frequently and how quickly you can get there from your apartment.

Don’t forget to ask about access to major roads and highways. Location and connectivity can be the difference between sitting in a car endlessly or having more time to focus on what you want to do. HHHunt carefully selects where we build apartments for rent. All HHHunt Apartment Living communities are located with convenience and accessibility in mind.

At HHHunt, we believe it’s how you live that matters. That includes making sure you have all the information you need to make a good decision when it comes to finding apartments for rent.
