Well-designed Landscape and Open Space

In the era of the concrete jungle, seldom do we get an open space where we can breathe with ease or take a long refreshing walk. However, with the new apartment concepts, there are huge areas of land that are dedicated to recreational amenities including well-designed landscapes and gardens. Open spaces are especially useful for elderly people as they cannot do strenuous exercises in the gym. It is great for them to take a long walk and spend time with others while adding life to their living. A landscaped open space also adds beauty to the gated community.

Nowadays, most builders make sure that 70-80% of the gated community space is open with abundant greenery for a pollution-free housing environment.

Play Area for Kids

A secure play area for kids is great to get your children involved in some physical activity. Since most of the children, obsess over playing games or watching videos in mobile phones and tablets, encouraging them to go outdoors and play is a task for parents these days.
