What is an apartment clubhouse

Club house is one of the options of elite real estate in the form of low-rise and low-apartment houses for a small number of owners of one social stratum. Such houses are built according to an exclusive project in prestigious areas of Kyiv and in other large cities. Housing in a clubhouse is higher in cost than in an LCD and is not available to everyone, but the demand for it in Ukraine is quite high.

The main feature of CDs is privacy. In such houses there are few neighbors, there is no commerce and a careful selection of apartment owners is carried out. Buyers are selected according to such parameters as social status, hobbies, lifestyle, income level. This approach is used to make neighbors as comfortable as possible under one roof.

What is the difference between a clubhouse and conventional apartment complexes

A club house cannot be multi-storey: usually the buildings are up to 5 storeys high. Construction is carried out according to an individual project, for the development of which famous architects are involved. Both appearance and interiors of common areas are characterized by sophistication. Finishing of the entrance group and halls is made only of expensive materials.

In the case of building a house, a unique layout of apartments is created, often it can be free, so that the owners have arranged the living space according to their needs. One apartment can occupy the whole floor or be a duplex, and the ceiling height can be non-standard - up to 5 meters.

Housing is most often commissioned with finishing or "turnkey". For interior finishing expensive and high-quality materials are used, and the interior is created by renowned designers.

If residential complexes are built from scratch, a clubhouse can be located in a ready-made historical building. The developer carries out reconstruction and restoration and returns the building to its former gloss. As a result, residents get exclusive housing, which may have really thick walls, arched passageways, ancient bas-reliefs and other beautiful architectural features. The developer also ennobles the adjacent territory with the participation of landscape designers.

Another difference between a clubhouse and ordinary new buildings is the legal aspect of buying real estate. In some cases, the deal may be formalized not for an apartment, but for a part of the house. This is not quite a standard scheme for primary real estate. Since club-type houses can be designed on land plots with the purpose of "individual residential construction", they are put into operation as a private house. In this regard, the buyer becomes a co-owner of part of the building. But such situations are not so common, usually housing in CDs is bought with the help of a contract of sale and purchase of property rights or an investment agreement.

What are the benefits of a clubhouse

Elite class real estate already has more advantages than business or comfort class housing, but clubhouses are a separate category that stands out for its important features.

What are the pros of a clubhouse that are considered compelling to buy a home:

• favorable location - clubhouses are often located in the historic city center, with the building placed in a secluded location to maintain a quiet lifestyle and privacy of the residents. There may be a park nearby, and the views are sure to be picturesque;
• close proximity to rich infrastructure - club-type houses are built or arranged in historical buildings in prestigious districts in close proximity to infrastructure facilities (stores, shopping centers, beauty salons, gyms, restaurants, etc.).
• closed territory and security - a club house is most often fenced, and also equipped with round-the-clock security, video surveillance, concierge, which excludes the presence of unauthorized persons on the territory;
• own parking - the building usually has an underground parking lot or its own parking lot, with several parking spaces assigned to each apartment;
• small number of apartments - a club house can accommodate only 10-20 apartments, which is ideal for those who like a quiet and secluded lifestyle, as well as for famous personalities who do not want to be public all the time;
• maximum level of living comfort - one-level or two-level apartments are distinguished by large meters, high ceilings, individual layout, panoramic windows. The apartments in the club houses are maximally designed for comfortable living;
• there is a possibility of propiska - clubhouses are different, but most often they offer apartments, not apartments, that is, you can propiska in them;
• lack of commercial facilities - in elite complexes there may be stores, cafes, beauty salons on the first floors, but in club houses there is no such thing. Here, the privacy of residents is more valued than the presence of its own infrastructure in the house, because the main facilities are already within walking distance;
• management company - every clubhouse necessarily has a management company that ensures the full functioning of the building, is responsible for cleaning and controls everything that happens in and around the building.

Separately, it is worth highlighting such an advantage of a clubhouse as a small number of residents who are united by the same social status. Real estate in such houses does not appear in the open sale, as it cannot be bought by everyone. Residents are selected with similar interests and the same social stratum, so that they would be comfortable together: close acquaintance in a small number of apartments is difficult to avoid. Careful selection of neighbors with an analysis of lifestyle and hobbies allows you to create a community where everyone will enjoy living together.

What are the disadvantages of a clubhouse

Despite the large list of advantages that distinguish club-type houses, they also have some disadvantages. Before deciding to buy an apartment in a CD, it is worth weighing up all the pros and cons.

What are the disadvantages of a clubhouse:

• A quiet and measured lifestyle will not seem like an advantage to everyone, so it is important to consider your needs;
• In small clubhouses, noisy events and parties are most often prohibited so as not to make the neighbors uncomfortable;
• careful selection of future tenants before buying an apartment may not be to everyone's liking, if you just want to buy the property that came to your liking;
• apartments in club houses are expensive and may be unaffordable even for fairly well-to-do people;
• In addition to the high cost of housing, buyers of luxury real estate expect high maintenance costs;
• real estate in a clubhouse is difficult to sell or rent, as you need to find not just a buyer, but a person who will match the status of the other tenants.

Who would be suitable for a clubhouse

A clubhouse is real estate not for everyone. An apartment in an elite small apartment building with a small number of neighbors with a high social status will be a great solution for those who like a quiet and peaceful lifestyle. It is also a good option for those who lead a public life, but want to be able to have privacy and maintain privacy after hours.

An apartment in a club house is real estate for people with large financial resources. Such housing can be a good investment if you buy it at the initial stage of construction and be prepared for the fact that you will probably not be able to sell it quickly.

Club-type houses are inhabited by people from the same social circle, with similar hobbies and habits, with approximately the same level of income. Such real estate is in demand among celebrities, athletes, business partners and other people who share similar interests.
