If you’re like most homebuyers, your dream is purchase a home.  However, if your finances won’t qualify you to buy a home, a condo makes a great alternative.   With a condo you own the inside space which is bordered by the walls, ceilings, and floors.  The remaining brick walls, sidewalks, external stairwells, swimming pools and garden areas comprise the common areas supervised by the homeowner association.  Some great aspects of condo life include:

1) Less Expensive Than A Home – Unless you plan to live in a big metropolitan area or by a resort, you’ll find condos listed at lower selling price.  Since upkeep costs like landscaping, roofing, and some insurances are paid by community funds, your condo’s monthly maintenance costs are less.

2)  Friendly Atmosphere – Since you and your neighbors are members of the same community, you have more opportunities to meet new friends.

3)  Less To Maintain – Since the community pays someone to maintain the common area, you’ll have more time to enjoy other things.  You may also get the benefits of using an on site pool or gym.
