Penthouses! You Can Either Dream It or Live It. 

Penthouses are apartments or condos that are on the highest level of apartment buildings, high rises or  hotels. The basic distinction between a penthouse and a usual apartment is the availability of luxury features in the penthouse. The scenic beauty or view that these residential places provide is an additional perk that attracts people to buy these places in the first places. Furthermore, the feeling of exclusivity that these places offer gives you the highest level of satisfaction. In addition to that, these places provide you escape from the busy life of cities and also increase your chances of receiving fresh air due to their altitude.

The word penthouse originally was meant to address small houses/rooms on top of the buildings. Later on, they changed over time as a fashion or luxury statement. The customers provide hefty amounts for these penthouses as they cater to spending luxurious time while enjoying the views from the terrace.
On the majority of the cases, the general populace does have a very positive response about this specific residential service. However, considering the luxuries available in the apartment, it does add to the overall cost of the apartment. Furthermore, since these apartments include a terrace and a good view of the city, they are a little above the normal prices of the apartment; and hence, people from upper socio-economic strata tend to be more inclined towards buying this type of residence.

 

Top 4 Reasons to Live in a Penthouse 


Exclusivity:


As much as people enjoy the luxuries, the exclusive feeling to reside in a penthouse is a major game changer in terms of motivating people to buy these places. It provides you an innate feeling of satisfaction. To reside in a place that is filled with luxuries does provide you a great deal of contentment within yourself. Since the prices are usually high, the apartment acts as a constant reminder of your success and hard work. These luxuries act as a gift to your constant pain and struggle through your entire life.


In addition to that, these apartments also act as a motivating force for your life. They symbolize that you have overcome all your past struggles and achieved this. Hence, to achieve any more than this, you would have to work very hard and focus on your goals. Only then, you can move further up in your life.


Luxuries


These apartments, apart from their exclusive feeling, also are equipped with luxuries that are a huge advantage to the owner of the place. These luxuries help you to spend your time in the apartment in a more comfortable way. They provide ease of use for the owner and are also very timesaving in their nature.


Most of these luxuries are included within the apartment. These luxuries include fireplace, over-sized windows and in a majority of the cases, an elevator opening directly into your apartment. In addition to that, additive features based on the monetary value your apartment is worth are included, for example, Jacuzzi, office/den and addition suites within the penthouse. The inherent idea about these luxuries is to make sure that your stay at the apartment acts as an experience that you will never forget in your lifetime.


Comfort


Comfort is another reason why people prefer these penthouses in the first place. Especially in places like Las Vegas that are equipped with Luxury high rise condos & condo hotels. These penthouses provide a very decent view of the horizon and have a very good supply of fresh air in areas like One Queensridge Place Summerlin , as they come with exquisite Terrace Views.

In addition to that, they act as an escape route for your busy city life rush. There is a famous saying, “Rising to the top is hard but staying at the top is even harder”. This is true for people who have an established setup. Since, most of the people who purchase these apartments belong to the upper tier of the society in terms of socio-economic standards, they do have a very hectic routine. These penthouses act as a perfect source of relief for these people, as they escape from their intense life schedule to take a timeout in their day. These apartments help you to relax after a long day at work so that you may be able to focus on your next day properly. The Terrace can be a very exquisite place to spend the evening to soothe your daily burden while enjoying a hot cup of coffee.


Additional Services


Some Las Vegas Penthouses also come with added benefits that enfranchize the owner to spend a more comfortable time in the apartment. These services include pickup and delivery of important mail, laundry services, and dinner as well. This essentially means that the household chores, which even though take very less effort, but at the end of a hectic day, require a huge effort. You wouldn’t have to worry about them all. The hotel would take care about all of this.

In addition to that, you get the upper hand while making any reservations in the restaurants or any other event being organized by the hotel. This allows you to never worry about waiting for attending an event or having your favorite food at the restaurant. You can have good food with your loved ones without having to worry about the capacity of the restaurant or the overly crowded waiting line for the restaurant.

Lastly, the concierge services that includes people serving you for your personal needs. These services can be used for multiple reasons including attending your calls, checking on your car, parking your car and also arranging hotel services for your convenience, for example, spa services and luggage transportation service.

It provides you with a sense of satisfaction, is very comfortable, comes with the necessary luxuries needed to make your lifestyle grow and lastly, it is a lifestyle that few will ever live , but even if for a short time may be worht the investment even even for just a few yeas to indulge in this lifestyle.

You've got a pretty darn good niche, William.  I've never considered Penhouses as a niche ... probably because there aren't many around here.
