High-end urban housing
Luxury apartments are high-end rental units with premium amenities and finishes—things like doormen, fitness centers, rooftop terraces, and upscale kitchens.
The term appears constantly in real estate marketing, where "luxury" often means little more than "expensive" or "newer than average": Starting at $3,500 for luxury apartments in the Arts District.
