�� If you are contemplating purchasing in a compound you should ask about the developer , go and see other projects he has done , to see if they are operational with people living in them . Even if you are buying a project off-plan , it is important to go and visit the plot to get a feel for the area . Some projects may seem attractive , but the surrounding area could be lowend , with a poor infrastructure and poor maintenance .
What are the most attractive features being implemented in new developments ? There are many amenities that are now generic in most compounds , from wellness and fitness facilities , gyms , children ’ s playground and the like . The things to look out for include good landscaping , sufficient parking to be in ratio to the lifestyle standards of the residents , and of course , good security and facility management . Some developers come up with a tailored approach , such as the one in the New Administrative Capital that strongly focuses on the needs of a family . One element they have included is a central kitchen that provides ready cooked meals at cost price . This enables women to free up time to spend with their family , rather than spend hours in the kitchen . Taking the community spirit even further , the same project creates a communication hub where residents can contact other residents who have skills and professions that are needed by the residents . By going back to the fundamentals of what makes for a strong , happy and thriving community , the quality of life is elevated and forms a foundation for generations to come .
