Downsizing? Seeking an attainable city-pad?

See why the Pinnacle offers the best value new apartments in Auckland 


Why downsize and contemplate giving up the family homestead for an apartment in the City?
The answer is as varied as the people who have been through the Pinnacle Apartments' show space.

What's become apparent to the sales team is that most of the purchasers who have put 'pen to paper' are couples who are looking for a city pad, or to downsize and leave the trappings of the suburbs behind.

Why are our purchasers doing this?

Perhaps they want free time to do relaxing things for themselves and their extended families, or perhaps they simply want to avoid the morning rush hour traffic. 

We couldn't be sure, so we sat down and had a think. Here are some of the reasons we've come up with:
  • An apartment's easier to maintain than a block of land in the suburbs. Throw the mower away - in fact, put the entire contents on the garden shed on Trade Me because, apart from a few planter boxes for your favourite herbs or flowers, you won't be needing any of it.
  • More time for doing the things that you want to do. Less floor space means less cleaning. Living on the 7th floor means that you're not going to be outside with a hose washing down the outside of the building. 
  • It's mentally freeing to live in an apartment. You can't bring an entire house lot of furniture with you. Removing all that 'stuff' from around you will correspondingly free up your mind to focus on the new and exciting pursuits you'll have time for now you're not mowing lawns and cleaning the house.
  • You'll have less money invested in a Pinnacle Apartment than you had in the family homestead. This gives you financial freedom and with financial freedom comes the freedom to make choices that were unavailable to you when your capital was invested in the family homestead.
We're certain that there's plenty more reasons to purchase a Pinnacle Apartment but you should come and see for yourself why so many people are choosing to downsize and live in an apartment in the City.
