Rethinking Apartment Amenities: Less Hype, More Real-Life Value

June 4, 2025

Tired of paying amenity fees for things you’ll never use? Learn why more renters are skipping flashy extras and choosing Center Square Apartments in Doylestown—where location, walkability, and everyday ease are the real amenities.

When apartment hunting, it’s common to ask:   “What amenities do you offer?”

But maybe that’s not the right question.

From a 30,000-foot view, things like rooftop pools, game rooms, and bark parks can sound exciting—luxurious, even. But here’s what most renters realize after move-in: they rarely use them. And worse—they’re often paying extra for them.


At Center Square Apartments in Doylestown, PA, we take a different approach. Here, our location is the best amenity you’ll ever need—and we’ll explain why.


💸 The Truth About Amenity Fees

Most apartment communities with flashy features also charge amenity fees—monthly add-ons for pools, gyms, lounges, or coworking spaces. These can cost $25, $50, even $100 per month on top of your rent.

The reality?
If you
work long hours, travel to the shore on weekends, or already have a gym membership or favorite trails—you’re paying for things you’ll rarely (if ever) use.


🤔 Ask This Instead:

“Are these amenities I’ll actually use?”

It’s easy to get caught up in a list of extras. But a smarter approach is to focus on your lifestyle. Ask yourself:

  • Will I really swim in the pool more than twice a year?
  • Do I need a lounge if I prefer downtown cafés?
  • Is that game room something I’ll ever actually use—or just paying for?

At Center Square Apartments, we believe you shouldn’t pay for features that don’t match your lifestyle.
