Where is your apartment?
Docklands, Melbourne
How many apartments are in your development?
350+
How does living in apartment suit your lifestyle?
It is perfect for me because as a single professional female there is very little maintenance and no gardening. Also, I enjoy a higher level of security in my building because there is restricted access to my level.
In your opinion, what are the two biggest ‘problems’ with apartments or apartment-living?
1. I have to be conscious of how loud I play music in my apartment and at what time of day/night due to the close proximity of neighbouring apartments; and
2. A down side is that due to the size of my apartment balcony, I can’t hold big get-togethers or BBQs with lots of friends. There are common areas but its inconvenient and less private to use them.
