6 buildings full of millennial must-haves

Millennials might not be buying houses as early as previous generations did, but make no mistake: They care about where and how they live.

Fifty-six percent of renters in 2016 were millennials, according to the Zillow Group Report on Consumer Housing Trends. Even though they aren't all looking for homes yet, millennials have the same top priorities as other homebuyers when it comes to finding a place to live. They want to locate a place that fits their budget and live in a safe neighborhood.

The more unusual top priority for this generation is finding a home that allows pets.

Millennials are more community-minded than older adults as well, according to the Zillow report, with 55 percent saying they're involved in their neighborhoods or surrounding communities.

That community spirit is clearly expressed in the extra building amenities millennials say they want, according to a recent survey conducted by the National Multifamily Housing Council and real estate research firm Kingsley Associates. Millennials are twice as likely as baby boomers to prioritize outdoor recreational facilities, 18.4 percent more interested in fitness centers and 13.7 percent more interested in having access to a lounge area or party room in their living communities.

Adding amenities like these often comes at a premium, but many millennial renters are willing to pay a little more for a gym in their building or movies, lectures, pool parties and cookouts organized in their own ready-made communities. In some cases, residents can even find these extras at a discount compared to what they would pay outside of their buildings.

From Manhattan micro-apartments with housekeeping and community yoga to Amsterdam lofts designed with traveling professionals in mind, these living spaces are luxurious, efficient and, in many cases, all about finding great roommates.

Click ahead to see six communities with features that are millennial-approved.

The Promenade

The Promenade is part of the Foundry Campus in Providence, Rhode Island. Located on the former site of Brown and Sharpe Manufacturing Co., the campus is made of 13 commercial and residential buildings that have been restored and are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Promenade has over 100 different floor plans available, with units ranging in size from "metro" (essentially a small studio apartment, between 375 and 538 square feet) to two-bedrooms (between 1,122 and 1,640 square feet). Each unit comes outfitted with stainless steel kitchen appliances, tiled baths and exposed brick. Rent for units at The Promenade starts at $1,200 per month and goes up to $2,950 per month.

Roam, with locations in four major cities around the world and another building in the works, is geared toward people hoping to build a "location-independent lifestyle." Roam Miami is located in the Little Havana area of Miami. The building itself, originally built in 1908, is the city's oldest boarding house.

Zoku

Zoku is a home-office hybrid space located in the Eastern Canal District of Amsterdam in The Netherlands. Like Roam, Zoku is geared toward traveling professionals. The building incorporates many shared community spaces, like a kitchen/restaurant, communal work space with Wi-Fi and punching bags, 24-hour store, living room and game room/music corner.

Zoku lofts in the building can be rented for one night, but they're geared more toward residents who plan to stay for a while.

Zoku

Zoku Amsterdam has 133 micro-units of various sizes, ranging from 172 square feet to 323 square feet. It even offers "bootstrap" rooms with bunk beds and tiny work spaces available for short-term stays on a budget.

Each loft has a built-in kitchen and en-suite bathroom. Lofts start at €110 (about $123) per night and go up to €180 (about $202) per night.

HubHaus

Rather than one building packed full of amenities and community spaces, HubHaus is a network of 41 co-living houses spread across Los Angeles and San Francisco. Houses in the HubHaus network, like Libra Haus (pictured above) come with fully furnished community spaces that include Wi-Fi, a TV and kitchen essentials.

The HubHaus team matches residents to their housemates and organizes events and outings for the entire HubHaus community.
