Welcome to my new series, Active Adult Living’s Top Active Adult Living for Condominium Living. Condo’s offer today’s boomers, active seniors and empty nesters the perfect opportunity to embrace life for a number of reasons. Certainly one aspect is the ‘lock and leave’ lifestyle that condo developments offer. Want to get out of town for a while? In a condo, you have a certain peace of mind in knowing that neighbors in your development are within close proximity to keep an eye out in your absence.
And, of course, the aspect of low or no maintenance is also a big plus for condo dwellers. After all, I think that at a certain point in life, we all have enough of mowing, gardening and painting, not to mention repairs to the roof, air conditioning unit and so on.
Condominiums these days come in many innovative shapes, sizes and lifestyles. The ones featured within my 5 part series are our choices for a number of different reasons. You will learn about new developments as well as established communities and you’ll discover a variety of choices including single level ranch style condominiums, as well as the more traditional low, mid and high rise condo communities. You will also discover some amazing luxury condominium rental communities as well as other types of ownership including freehold, leasehold and cooperative. Oh, and by the way, if having a condo as a second home sounds good to you, have you considered fractional ownership?
