Luxury High Rise Houston Condos with a Lock-and-Leave Lifestyle

A high rise residence is so much more than a place to live. It’s a place to grow, a place to enjoy, a place to call home, and sometimes, a place to leave for a few days or weeks, through necessity or purely for fun. It could be a work assignment in another state, visiting a new grandchild, a wedding, a graduation ceremony, a concert, or going on vacation. Whatever the reason, knowing that your home is protected while you are away is an important consideration, not only in terms of security, but also maintenance and upkeep. Traditional suburban homes may include chores like mowing the lawn, picking up newspapers, watering window boxes, pool maintenance, switching lights on by means of a timer so the home looks occupied, all of which can be arranged with plenty of time to plan, but a bit overwhelming when the trip out of town is unexpected and last-minute. The lock-and-leave lifestyle speaks for itself, you can leave your home for 45 minutes or 45 days, and it will be secure.

The perks of a well-maintained property

Taking a dip in the pool, entertaining friends with outdoor grilling, admiring the greenery and surrounded by landscaping, taking your dog outside for a walk, exercising in the outdoor fitness area, the possibilities are endless and are usually only possible if you’re vacationing or have worked very hard on the upkeep of the property. Mowing the lawn, pruning the shrubs, cleaning the pool, checking the water quality, tidying up after bad weather, maintaining common areas, repairing damages, replacing or upgrading as required, and enduring safety is always a primary concern that takes a significant amount of time, and money. The Parklane has low monthly maintenance dues and a team of dedicated professionals to keep the building and grounds pristine. Even without the worries of keeping up with maintenance when you are out of town, not having to actively do the chores frees up your time, a commodity that money cannot buy. Time to enjoy the very things that make living in a luxury high rise with five-star services and amenities so appealing.

Smart-Home Automation

The Parklane residences span 35 stories and range from 1 bed 1 bath condos, to 3 bed 3 bath condos. From 798 sq. ft. interiors to 2,749 sq. ft. interiors, there are several things the homes have in common. One of them is being pre-wired for smart-home automation. Switching on lights to controlling the thermostat, video monitoring, and much more, there is an ever-increasing list of smart-home capabilities which can be integrated to manage your home from somewhere totally remote, as if you were home.

A high rise community

When traveling out of town, often family or neighbors are asked to drop by just to check on your home, especially if there is a storm or extreme heat. Not only do you have building staff to look after your home, another inherent advantage of living in a high rise building is having a network of neighbors who become friends.

Planning ahead

Another advantage over a traditional house is that the high rise residences are impacted less by bad weather. The one simple step homeowners can take when leaving for an undetermined time, or when upcoming storms are forecast, is bringing in lightweight items and plants that need watering from the balcony. At The Parklane, every home has at least one private balcony with some of the residences having two or three, sometimes on different sides of the building offering totally different views. With Hermann Park just steps away, and the Downtown Houston skyline visible, the views are undoubtedly one of the reasons potential homebuyers appreciate this unique location. The Parklane seamlessly blends the convenience of being in a major metropolis like Houston with the tranquility and splendor of a magnificent and ever-changing park as your backdrop.

The best part of going away – coming back home

It can be fun to go away at times, but it’s always such a pleasure to return home. Knowing that your home is secure and The Parklane is so well maintained means that even if your trip was extended, you can be sure that any issues have been dealt with. The welcoming, contemporary lobby and friendly staff will be ready to greet you on your return, with a 24/7 concierge able to help with package procurement, maintenance requests, working with contractors, a handyman service, and housekeeping.
