How should frequent business travel change apartment priorities?

Quick answer

Frequent travel makes the everyday office commute less important and increases the value of a strong social neighborhood, 24/7 concierge service, secure package handling, controlled access, and easy lock-and-leave living. The renter may have fewer evenings and weekends at home, so Grant wants those hours to be easy and enjoyable. High-service conveniences such as valet, pet-care access, and well-run common areas can become more valuable than they would be for someone home every day. The best apartment should reduce friction while the resident is away and improve the limited time they are back.
