FOR most homebuyers, it is no surprise that the lingering question of ‘Can I raise my family in an apartment?’ often floats through their minds.
When in fact, the question focuses on whether an apartment (type) unit can provide the comforts of a home.
Regarding this, what many of us fail to realise collectively and realistically is that a home transcends beyond the space itself.
The accessibility of public transportation and amenities (i.e. commute, connection, and flexibility), the surrounding community, and simplicity, are among the additional key factors that make any space worth living in.
Whether it is more or less than 1,500 sq ft (the average home size in the country), without considering the elements mentioned above, any house-hunting mission would be incomplete.
The trend of apartment living is obvious if we look at the urbanite lifestyle. When coupled with proper development policies and the champions behind them, we can accelerate the living experience to greater heights.
Let’s get into the primary points of how we can look towards considering the apartment block life.
Extra gains
Connectivity thrives in smaller spaces.
To be close to what you believe in and your loved ones, having a manageable capacity to care for your home grants more time for whichever passion it is that drives you to your goal in life.
It would be disheartening to let such an opportunity go to waste if there is a chance to reprogram your day-to-day in a way that allows for this connectivity.
Imagine being able to talk, play and do more within a provided proximity since the apartments are big enough to allow some breathing space whenever needed.
No doubt, apartment living is a simpler way of existing. It provides the space to set your priorities straight and focus on what matters most in your life.
It’s all about connectivity
If you’re looking for a way to simplify your life and focus on what matters most, the 4.75 acre Sentral Suites serviced apartment in KL Sentral promises the advantage of being close to Malaysia’s largest transportation hub.
The property is under the purview of Malaysian Resources Corporation Bhd (MRCB), the master developer of KL Sentral and a company that is not a stranger to building transit-oriented development (TODs) residential properties.
In fact, its other TOD projects include, but are not limited to PJ Sentral Garden City, Penang Sentral, Kwasa Sentral and Cyberjaya City Centre.
At Sentral Suites, potential residents can enjoy unparalleled connectivity via seven rail networks that serve an average of 150,000 commuters daily.
To top it off, the biggest win about living within a central business district such as KL Sentral is that it is a hub for job opportunities where existing and new businesses conduct activities on a regular basis.
The convergence of Fortune 500 companies in the area cements the potential of its prime location. This established landmark also plays host to a myriad of lifestyle attractions, making it a melting pot of culture, business, and leisure.
The essence of good housekeeping
Apartment spaces are not designed to be small, in fact, they are designed to be intentionally minimalistic.
How many of us today are slaves to material belongings?
Living in an apartment unit encourages homeowners to constantly edit their lives by making decisions on what stays in the space.
We have heard experts say hoarding is a problem only if it becomes a nuisance, but why do we even begin to hoard in the first place?
Clutter is the modern world’s biggest bane, and we sometimes give in to it without realising.
So, if you are attempting to train your temptations or impulses, there is nothing better than empowering yourself to live small and learn how to feel ‘enough’ in your home.
The takeaway here is that if contentment is what you seek, then stay motivated to maintain such balance.
World-class comfort requires world-class development
Living in an apartment could be an oasis for peace and relaxation.
Our well-being is often associated to how safe and secure we feel. Given the population boom and urban migration to the city in search of opportunities, it is imperative to decide on an abode that does not compromise on comfort.
Apartments usually come with dedicated amenities like a children’s play area, gymnasium, swimming pool, clubhouse, paved pathways for jogging and many more. These amenities will give you the added luxury your life needs.
At Sentral Suites one can immerse oneself in the stunning views of the surrounding cityscape. The development offers sky pods and sky-themed gardens (Herbs, Japanese, Balinese, Hammock and Outdoor Game Space) across all three of its towers.
In addition, there are around 27 facility features located across the serviced apartment’s podium level ranging from exercise decks, an outdoor gym, an infinity swimming pool, basketball court and jacuzzi and BBQ area, a playground as well as a jogging route.
Another primary perk of apartment living is professional security. Most apartments have professional security services employed for the safety and protection of its residents.
These guards are experienced and trained. In addition, before employing them in the apartments, an extensive background check is usually done.
Of course, for any home purchases, one must look at the developer behind a project first to trust if such features would be provided as promised.
Location, location, location!
Jalan Tun Sambathan is a major historical road in Kuala Lumpur. It was erected in 1982 and named after Tun V.T. Sambanthan, former Minister of Works and Communications and among the founding fathers of Malaysia. Sentral Suites, upon completion, will be standing tall there with its own retail unit for residents’ convenience.
The property is also located along the same stretch as Nu Sentral Mall which is within walking distance of the residence. It is the only trendy eight-storey mall with a cinema hall and other entertainment/dining spaces for an exciting shopping experience within the area.

But if you are looking for a more unique and homegrown take on food and culture, you can also experience the local fares that have been serving the residents and businesses in the area for decades. Exploring the corners of the nation’s largest and most popular Little India in Brickfields is now made easy as this vibrant area is right outside the apartment.
As the area is fast emerging as a hot development and community site, it would be a loss if we did not highlight its charms. – The Vibes, September 2, 2022
