Condominium apartments
What is a condominium in Budapest?
A condominium consist of several similar style multiple flat buildings and/or row houses and (semi-)detached houses in a fenced garden with small roads and ways between the buildings. They generally provide a well maintained garden, security service, playground, common used wellness area, sport facilities and gym.
Condominium apartments for rent in Budapest
Considering the fact that all high quality condominiums have been built in the last 10-15 years, they are in good or top level condition.
In most condominium flats there is one big space for the kitchen (American style or open plan kitchen), living and dining area. Bedrooms are smaller than in case of detached houses, because the total size of a standard 3-bedroom condominium apartment is between 120 and 150 sqm, while a house has at least 250 sqm living space.
Landlords generally rent out their condominium apartments with a storage room and one or two parking places in the underground garage of the building.
Apartment in block of flats (Multiple flat building)
In case of block of flats there is one building on the plot and there are 3, 6, 12 or even more apartments in the house. These properties are not protected by security service and you can’t enjoy other services like gym, swimming pool, etc.
Their big advantage is that they have a much familiar feeling as there are significantly less apartments in a block than in a condominium. As there are no extra services, the common cost is also much lower.
If you are looking for an apartment in a block of flats for rent, you can sit back relaxed as there is a wide range of these real estates with different style, size and price!
Many apartments located on the hillside of Buda have breath taking panoramic view that you can enjoy on a spacious terrace with friends and family during a delicious dinner on a warm summer evening.
Apartments in historical buildings in the Downtown
This property type is really special and typical for the downtown at Pest side. These apartments are located in old, historical buildings, sometimes older than one hundred years with open-air corridors and an inner yard. As they have at least three or four levels, elevator is a must in these buildings.
Some of them have facades that are under architectural protection and they are not equipped with big terraces, but only with a few smaller ones. An interesting detail about these apartments is that they have very high ceiling: 4 or even 5 meters!
A part of these real estates have been fully renovated offering a very special sensation of life as you live in an old, classical building but still perfectly renovated according to 21st century standards. If only they could talk….
Penthouse
Nowadays it’s a trend to call a top floor flat a penthouse. This criterion is not enough to qualify as a penthouse flat. A penthouse is on the top floor of a building (but not in the attic), can be reached by elevator, equipped with high quality materials and fittings and has a huge terrace (approximately the same size as the apartment) with panoramic view.
There are many penthouses for rent in Budapest as well, and we dare to say that there are real jewel boxes among them.
As penthouse apartments are considered to be unique properties, they are more expensive to rent, and because of the huge terrace the common cost related to the flat is also higher.
There are beautiful penthouses in the 9th and 13th district close to the Danube, and also in the 1st, 2nd and 12th districts.
