Families in transition

Not all knowledge workers or skilled professionals feel positive about relocation in general because it means packing, selling a house, saying goodbye to friends, relatives, and places they are close to.  Nearly each aspect of global transition causes a huge change in the expat family’s routine, quality of life, environment, and most of all their social life.  

 

While Tokyo is still way on top of the most expensive cities in the world, smart H&R departments of multinational companies know that the family’s vulnerability to certain emotions of fear, sadness and isolation caused by a move, can do the organization a disservice if an expatriating family’s needs are not appropriately compensated.   

 

Efficient companies who value the welfare of  class-A professionals understand fully well that by best matching the lifestyles these families enjoy back home, they also boost the family’s morale and help create a positive reinforcement for valued executives to perform and deliver.

 

Habitat

First and foremost, the concern of families moving in to Tokyo is a living space wide enough to suit the number of dwellers and address basic needs such as function and comfort.  Homat Apartments are built and designed to address the issue of space, aesthetics and style, ventilation, lighting, amenities, and comfort by acceptable western living standards.  Whatever size your family needs, Homat Apartments deliver.  They have properties as small as 1BR and as wide as 5BRs to choose from.

 

Location

Foreign families choose to live in the center of Tokyo with close proximity to schools, churches, supermarkets, sports centers, movie theaters, parks, etc.  Homat Apartments are strategically located in Minato district which hosts most of the entertainment, schools and shopping areas around town.

 

Active Life

Just how much social life you can really enjoy largely depends on the functionality of your apartment.  There’s so much room for children and their friends to play, socialize, watch video games, or do indoor sports in every Homat unit.  Moms and dads need not fret about clutter because of wide built-in closet space and walk-in closets in selected units.  Families are also able to host cozy home parties.

 

Moms are spoilt for choice when it comes to kitchen aesthetics.  All Homat Apartments have very functional and wide kitchen storage, spacious refrigerators, large ovens, heavy-duty washers and dryers ranging from Magic Chef, Whirlpool, GE, and Maytag, etc.  Throwing a party?  With amenities like these, you can always support your social activities.

 

Rest and Recuperation

Sleep is one of the most important things that packs energy.  At Homat Apartments, all master bedrooms support king-sized beds for a tranquil night’s rest.  Sub rooms have moderate space as well.   

 

Powder Room

Twin sink full-size vanity mirror provide room for busy Mom and Dad to enjoy their grooming time.

 

Other Amenities

All units use central cooling/heating, Secom security, with 1 parking space for every unit included in the rent.  Pets are subject to negotiation.
