Every renter wants to be up in the club — the clubhouse, that is. That goes extra for these next-level apartment clubhouses.
There’s a lot of competition in the rental market these days. Property managers have learned that one of the best ways to sweeten the pot is to make the amenities so luxe that renters simply have to live there.
As a result, the apartment clubhouse has gone from a place with some couches and a mini-kitchen to a full-blown experience that often spans several rooms and even sites on the property. Here are some of the most well-equipped clubhouses out there right now.
It’s only fitting that The Sutton Buckhead has one of the nicest clubhouses on our list since it’s located in one of the most elevated neighborhoods in Atlanta. The tricked-out clubroom features not only a catering kitchen, perfect for those luxe soirees but also a wine bar, coffee bar and a media room area.
