When it comes to real estate, condominiums are among the hottest places to locate.
And no wonder. When you consider the great reasons to live some place like the Villas at Harbor Island or another condo complex in Long Branch, Rumson, or elsewhere, it becomes pretty hard to ignore how appealing a condo can be. Here are our top 5 reasons to live in a condo:
5) No Lawn To Mow
When you have a condo, guess what? You’re not going to be slaving out in the hot sun mowing the lawn, that’s what. Oh, you’ll HAVE a lawn, you just won’t have to take care of it. Your association will do that for you (and will probably do a better job), which means your home will always look fantastic without you even having to break a sweat. Not a bad little bonus, huh?
4) Location
Unlike suburban sprawl, condo locations are usually well chosen, with good access to local shopping and so on. You’ll be near area attractions, have easy access to major roadways so you can get to work, but will also live in a tucked away community that will be free from strangers, pedestrians, and people driving through on their way to somewhere else. That’s a nice thing!
3) A Sense of Community
Living in a condo complex like the Villas at Harbor Island offers something most suburban neighborhoods don’t: a sense of being part of a community. Even if you are a relatively private person, you’ll feel like you’re PART of something. You’ll take pride in where you live, you’ll know your neighbors and your association has your back, and you’ll feel good knowing that the people who live around you are a lot like you – and that means comfort!
2) Great Amenities
Depending on your condo complex, you just might have fantastic amenities that come with living there. They may include pools, tennis courts, rec rooms, private parking, and much more. Throw in maintenance crews, regular landscaping, and more, and it becomes clear that your money is buying more than a roof over your head. It’s also buying you a more comfortable, more enjoyable life.
1) Security
If you’re in a condo, chances are you’re going to have something most homeowners do not: security. As in, a literal security staff who are there to watch over the property, make sure nothing is amiss, and to react if something is. From security guards to locked front entrances before your private door and more, a condo complex is going to offer more security than some suburban neighborhood will.
And truthfully, that’s only scratching the surface. From having a maintenance staff on hand to your home retaining its value better than standalone homes and more, condos are unquestionably a fantastic place to be!
