Is a Co-Op, Townhome or Condo Right for You?

By
Real Estate Agent with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate - Rand Realty

Looking to buy in our area? Why not consider a condo, townhome or co-op? In the River Villages we have condos, townhomes and co-ops to suit just about everyone - from first-time buyers looking for an affordable way to enter  the real estate market to empty nesters looking to scale down in size but not in luxury.  These properties offer many benefits. Often, people don't have the inclination, ability or time to dedicate to regular home maintenance like outside repairs, lawn care, snow removal and other routine maintenance issues that come with owning a single-family home.  Condo, townhome and co-op owners pay a monthly fee that includes, among other things, hiring outside services to manage these and other tasks. Many people also like the sense of community and security that having neighbors in close proximity offers. Other advantages are the amenities the complex may offer such as a pool, tennis courts or fitness center - perks you might not be able to afford or have room for in a single-family home. Weigh your options. A townhome, condo or co-op may just be the perfect choice for your next home.
