Who Else Loves Living in a Condo Rather Than a House?

Reader Question:

Hey everybody, this is not your typical question but more of an observation about condo living. First off I totally love living here in Mt. Pleasant. I’ve been living here for about 5 years and don’t see myself leaving anytime soon.

I use to own a little house and I hated it! Every weekend, I would spend either the majority of Saturady or Sunday taking care of all the yard work. I literally had zero time for myself or my family…

Well with the blessing of my wife, we found a great condo that’s really close to the beach and now live is as close to a perpetual vacation as it can get.

We have time to do everything because living in a condo is so easy.

Who else feels this way?

Answer:

HAHAHA… heck yeah Jake! I had to post your comment/question because I feel the same way. But I wanted to be fair and just present a couple things that people should be cautious about…

1. HOA fees. Some condo places have crazy condo fees and this can just be a complet hassel on your pocket book. However, make sure you do a fair comparison because even though it’s expensive for HOA fees in a condo… see what you’re saving in insurance and maintenance.

2. Board of Directors. The first condo I lived it was pretty darn good, but the board of directors was terrible. They got nothing done and then wastes so much of our money.

If you really love your condo and the live it provides then get involved and make sure that you board of directors is competent.

Home Owners Associations used to be only for condo living, but these days not all the neighborhoods have them it seems so that just makes condo living all the more attractive.

Great comment Jacob and keep living the live!
