by Of course, as a car site, we are simply obliged to say that a new car is better. But in today’s realities, the situation is ambiguous – nowadays you can safely buy an apartment at the price of a car. And it doesn’t matter what kind of car we’re talking about. It is well known that right after leaving the dealership, a car drops in price. As for an apartment, if you invest at the construction stage, it will only increase in value after it is put into operation.
However, there is a risk typical for Ukraine – how to choose a reliable developer who will complete the construction. Currently, there are many development companies on the market that attract buyers with sweet prices and developed infrastructure, parks, and closed territories. But the first and main rule when buying real estate is to ensure the authority and reliability of a particular developer. Of course, as in the automotive world, there are flagships that can be trusted almost blindly. True, in this case, apartment prices are often much higher than the market average.
Is there a golden mean? Definitely. And the construction group Fundamental is proof of that. Recently, it celebrated its 75th anniversary, which is already impressive and inspires confidence. Moreover, the post-war Khreshchatyk was built by this group, the NSC “Olympic” was restored, the foundation of the “Motherland” monument was laid, and even the Palace Ukraine was reconstructed, where the “Fundamental” team of 2500 people celebrated its anniversary!
Among the advantages of “Fundamental” is the fact that this group of companies acts as a general contractor (and not only) in the construction of many residential complexes and large-scale buildings, and most importantly – builds houses for different pockets. From fresh examples, let’s consider the LaLaLand neighborhood and the “Camerton” residential complex.
LaLaLand
LaLaLand is a city within a city for young people and families with an average income. Despite the developed infrastructure (many recreation areas, shops, beauty salons, schools, and kindergartens), the cost of apartments here starts from 510 thousand hryvnias for a 36 sq. m.
“one-bedroom”. That is, such an apartment clearly falls into the category of new cars worth up to 20 thousand dollars, which we recently wrote about. Renault Duster or a one-room apartment where you can either live or turn a purchase into passive income? The price of a 2-room apartment is from 736 thousand hryvnias. This is comparable to the price of a Kia Sportage, for example.
Camerton
The “Camerton” residential complex is, in a way, a Bentley in the world of apartments. After all, apartments in this residential complex, located in the quiet center of Kyiv, can have private terraces, panoramic windows, a concierge, and even an internal square with landscape design is planned. Plus, Wi-Fi works throughout the area, and the territory is closed and guarded. A 1-room apartment with an area of almost 50 square meters will cost 1.63 million hryvnias. This is comparable to the price of a Mercedes E-class or an Infiniti QX60 crossover.
However, unlike cars, even premium ones, they are unlikely to compare with comfortable and luxurious housing in the heart of the capital, from where you can walk almost anywhere.
Apartment or car?
The ideal option is a new apartment and a new car. But if you have to choose between a new apartment and a new car, you need to understand that turning money into a passive income is a simple matter. But making a profitable investment is an art.
