Is Condo Life Right For You?
Thinking of uprooting and trying a new lifestyle in a different part of the country or just moving across town? Well, you’re not alone. Job transfers are not the only reason for a major move. Health reasons, retirement, a growing family wanting a larger home, or scaling down for the empty nesters, and declining neighborhood changes are just a few of the reasons people choose to move.
But maybe you’re just too busy for those tedious chores like mowing the lawn, raking leaves, cleaning the gutters and the dozens of other jobs around the house that deprive you of time that could be spent on family recreation, hobbies, travel, or other interests. Well, condo life might just be the right move for you.
In many instances, condo life can offer you hotel-style amenities that many people only dream about experiencing on their yearly vacation. Some of the possibilities might include:
1. Relaxing by the pool (some indoor and heated year round). Spas with hot tubs and saunas to sooth all those aches and pains.
2. Fitness centers, many of them state-of-the-art. No need to get in the car and travel miles to a gym.
3. On site clubhouse for parties and meeting your new neighbors.
4. Theaters, billiard rooms, and in some rare cases, you might find on-site bowling alleys for your entertainment.
5. Expect to find well maintained courtyards and peaceful park-like decks with barbecue facilities for your enjoyment.
6. Concierge services and valet services are a luxury provided in many of the newer up-scale communities.
7. Perhaps you’re concerned about security. Look for a gated, secured access building with a 24 hour doorman.
8. Like to golf? Choose a community that offers golf memberships.
9. Want to sit back and enjoy the view? If you’re fortunate enough to be near the mountains, a lazy lake, the ocean, or an exciting city, opt for a mid to high rise building, choose an upper level unit and savor the peace and tranquility as you gaze outside your window.
