Amenity Creep

In the context of residential Real estate and rentals, amenities are offered by builders of planned developments as non-monetary benefits to entice prospective homeowners towards their property, available for sale or even for rent. These amenities may be in the form of tangible benefits e.g. parks, swimming pools, health-club facilities, party rooms, bike paths, community centers, doorman, garage, pet-friendly home, etc. Intangible benefits are "pleasant view", "sun-lit living room" etc. which add to the living comforts.
