7 Reasons to Consider Living in Arizona's High-Rise Buildings

You will be pleased with the spectacular views that comes with high-rise living. Most towers will garner some type of views including mountain views, city views and even water views. Arizona high-rises offer all three options depending on location. Downtown Phoenix, Arizona can offer both city and mountain views, often times the rooftop will feed your eyes with 360 degree views. Tempe and Scottsdale offers high-rise developments that are nestled next to some type of water ways. No matter where you end up, you are sure to get some amazing Arizona views.

High-rise living is all about location. One of the best benefits of high-rise living is the walking access to some of the best restaurants and shopping available, not to mention the entertainment life. Many high-rise buildings are located near bars, restaurants, clubs, shopping, comedy clubs and more. This convenience will make going out worry free as you are just a quick walk away from your favorite spots.

High-rise living can mean less owner maintenance than the single-family home. This is because a lot of the typical maintenance items are covered by the HOA. This might include the pool, landscaping, common areas and even some utilities like HVAC systems, etc. It is always a good idea to check with the HOA to see what maintenance is including in your monthly HOA fee and what you will be responsible for.

One of my favorite benefits of high-rise living is the access to luxurious amenities. These can be quite convenient and include things like business centers, entertainment space, pools and spas, high-end gyms, yoga studios and even gaming amenities like pool, ping-pong and even golf. Most high-rise developments even have entertainment space/pools on the roof-top making the sunsets and surrounding views breathtaking.

Another great benefit of high-rise living is the increased security. Not only does your unit have less access to the public or ways of entry but you often have on-site security at the front entry or lobby area. This increased security can even save you on homeowners insurance. Having peace of mind that when you are traveling or away that your home will be protected and secure will make your travels a bit more peaceful.

Since most high-rise units are smaller or built with efficiency features like multi-pane windows, state of the art heating and cooling systems and built in technology apps to control your usage, your utility costs will typically be lower. Some developments may even include certain utilities like water, gas or even heating and cooling with your HOA fee. It is good to double check with the HOA to see what utilities you will be responsible for.

High-rise living can enhance your social life by offering amenities and features allowing you to entertain more than you usually would. This includes luxurious features like roof top entertainment spaces and even movie rooms. Often time, high-rise communities put together social gatherings for residents that allow you to meet your neighbors and form new friendships easily. This is great for both the socially active people and those who want to become more social or tend to be shy by being comfortable in your living corridors.
