The layout and design of the apartment are very important aspects to consider; after all, this is going to be the place where you need to be at ease and can call "home". If possible, visit beforehand for a walkthrough so you get a feel for the place and can look into things like cross ventilation, natural light, available views, intelligent layouts, smart interiors, etc. Even if the complex is being developed, most times you will have the opportunity to visit a "show apartment" which will give you an idea of what the living space will be like when completed.
