Young Adults Favor “Aticos” to Other Flats

Here is an interesting article from another real estate blog, Deshazte de tu Casa, about how young adults tend to favor aticos over other types of flats.

This makes sense given that this age group tends to enjoy outdoor spaces where they can relax and entertain while taking in impressive views. However, there are some things to be cautious of when looking for an atico to rent or buy – here are some recommendations:

• Make sure there are good drains to prevent any problems with humidity and leaks.
• An orientation towards the south is preferable to avoid excessive heat from sunlight, especially if you are in a climate with hot summers.
• Examine the terrace’s separation from those of the neighbors: Do you have privacy? Are there any ventilation ducts or other utilities preventing you from enjoying views or maximizing the space?
• Find out whether the terrace is private or community space for your building!
