Mention in-unit laundry, parking, storage, or pet policies to set expectations early.

Lease and utility details

Call out lease length, included utilities, and any fees so readers know the basics fast.

Location and lifestyle factors

Point to commute options, parks, dining, and nearby landmarks that sell the area.
