Living in a condo has a number of benefits that can make city dwelling a lot more pleasant, and ensure you get a prime location. While your unit will be governed by the laws of your condo HOA, and you will be covered by home owners association insurance for damages related to the structure of the building, anything you put inside will need to be insured under a separate policy. Abiding by the laws of your condo HOA is important if you want to be able to live harmoniously with other residents and can be a good thing, especially if you want to generate some community spirit. Condo living brings with it a number of benefits, one of which is security. Living together with lots of people around you is a good way to protect your home, and having neighbors around you makes your home less of a target for would-be criminals. It is also ideal for people who travel often, as they have a residence that is ‘lock up and go’ but also under the watchful eye of neighbors and whatever security system the building contains. Rules and regulations from a condo HOA can regulate and standardize the security systems that are installed to ensure uniformity. If security measures such as protective bars, screens and locks are fitted, it is important for all home owners to abide by the regulations so the building still looks good from the outside. It can also help to mobilize a community’s assistance to overcome a problem and ensure that all residents play their role and take responsibility for their own safety. Condos can also be less maintenance, especially if they are smaller in space. Maintaining and looking after a condo is a lot less expensive and time-consuming than looking after a house and can make responsibilities for people who travel often or work late a lot easier to live with. Some condos are available on a serviced basis where a maid service can come along and help out with cleaning. In some buildings having this service may be a prerequisite of the condo HOA. What you might lose in space you’ll definitely make up for with location, and living in a condo generally means you can get close to the facilities and features you need on a regular basis. Condos are ideal for small families, single people who work late or often and retirees, so compliance with the rules of the condo HOA, even if you are not there a lot, is really important for the building to be run successfully.
