 snow storms

Exhausted From Snow Clean Up in NE Philadelphia . Do you live in a house where you have to shovel snow ? Are you tired of shoveling snow ? My next question is are you thinking of making a move ?

The past several years we have had  pretty mild winters with not much snow .This year has been one snow storm after the other . Snow blowers are nice but it is still work in the cold temperatures .  Perhaps blowing snow and shoveling snow is something you find  fun and entertaining . I don't never did . Well maybe when I was a youngster ten or twelve years old  .That was a very long time ago . If you don't there are options

Have you ever considered condo living . Condo living is not for everyone .There are rules and regulations to follow .Most of the time they are not so bad and are established for good reasons. They keep the community looking nice plus add to the residents not being disturbed at odd hours. It may stop your neighbor from painting their door hot pink or hanging their clothes out on their balconies . Not to hard to live with is it ?

You are part of a community and usually have a voice and can speak up at meetings  Condo associations are sometimes run by a management company who answer to the Condo Board .The Condo Boards are usually elected officials that give their time freely to vote on what needs to be done in the community .Being on the Board is thankless job .It is totally done for the love of the community .There are no perks . There are some condo associations without management companies. They are self-managed and do an excellent job .

Let's get back to my question .Exhausted From Snow Clean Up in NE Philadelphia . Nothing is as wonderful as looking out the window and seeing a crew of workers removing snow right after a snow storm. The sound of the snow plows cleaning the parking area is like music to your ears  . The sound of shovels making a pathway on the sidewalks and the sprinkling of salt so it will not freeze over . How wonderful is this ! There are some associations where the crews will actually shovel your car out of the driveway . There are some condo's where they just clean the roads and you shovel out your own car . Regardless it is a pleasure to have some one else do the shoveling . Snow removal is just one benefit of condo living .There are many benefits. Call me we can talk about it .

You may say I can't live in a small condo . I can't give up my dog . I hear you can not have dogs. I must have a garage  . I would like a gated community . I prefer two story living . I need a pool and social activities. You can have all of these things . You may have to give up something but gain something else in return. We just have to select the right Community for you . There are many to choose from in NE Philadelphia . Don't want to give up your dog . We will find a pet friendly condo community .You will know when we find your condo when we walk in the door . You will get that feeling .This is home .

A reporter actually asked me this week if I have to shovel snow for my open houses. The reporter was from Brooklyn. I said I've never shovelled snow in Manhattan. I sell condos and coops and they have staffs and supers that shovel snow. The most I have ever done is swept snow off balconies and terraces.

My kids live in Philadelphia and they told me that this winter has been pretty harsh. I think having people that shovel sno is a terrific perk in a condo complex. Great tip Hannah.

Hannah.  Greatarticle.  Snow shoveling can be a never-ending process for those who live in snow areas.  Condo living could be a solution.

Hannah, as you know my area of Huntsville Alabama doesn't get a lot of snow and when we do it usually melts away in a day or two.  So the chance of us being exhausted from snow clean up is pretty slim.  However, I am originally from the mid-west and Chicago so I've paid my dues when it comes to shoveling and snow-blowing!

I would almost think you would be getting used to it by now. You've been hit by one storm after another. They're running out of adjectives

They are expecting more snow in the Northeast tonight...we haven't gotten hit nearly as hard in the Metro DC area, but it seems to be one storm after another.

Paul  I don't think you ever get used to shoveling snow . It is nice to know if you don't want to shovel anymore there is alternative lifestyle . There is condo living . Condo living are just not flats .There are many styles to choose from even two and three story homes .

Yvette Oh dear no I have heard this to .I went down to shovel out my car again and almost sat down and cried. I parked on the street instead of the driveway and I am plowed in .I called my son-in -law and he is coming to my rescue

Hi Hannah, I have a better idea. Move here and remind everyone that they can visit Philadelphia. LOL Just kidding of course and we all have to have empathy for our neighbors and family back east. I sure hope you all get some relief soon.

Hi Hannah,

Though winter weather presents challenges, your passion for the place you love to call home is evident. I really do believe that the toughest and best Realtors are those that make the best of every situation and help others to find alternatives, such as condos versus single family residential homes. You have my respect and admiration.

William  If moving to California is not an option it is nice to know that instead of owning a single family home with snow to shovel there are alternative lifestyles. Condominiums offer this lifestyle both in the winter with shoveling snow & in the warmer months when there is grass to mow . We all can't be "California girls" . There are many of us that like the change of seasons .This year well we might be changing our minds.
