John--if I was much younger and lived in big city I would live in loft style condo and not own a car.

Now I love my woods, stream, barn and its rural setting that is only 15 miles from downtown Erie, PA.

Mary - I appreciate some of the conveniences of condo living, but prefer the tranquility of rural life.  This morning I watched several deer grazing in the forest behind my house--a scene unavailable in the city.

We have tons of condo complexes here. Some strong, some not so strong financially. We must always stay on top of the financials and have the latest.

Dick & Dixie - In today's market it's doubly important to confirm the stability of any condominium association before purchasing.

John...thanks for the shout out again on this article! It was a great one to write, and one I will be referring my clients to often.

Ah yeah....no deer grazing in Piedmont Park I'm afraid. Would you settle for some ducks on the pond instead?
