A condo is actually a term that describes the actual ownership of the unit or property. It has absolutely nothing to do with the actual architecture of the property itself. When you purchase and own a condo, you own title to the individual unit along with a partial interest in the common community areas of the condominium community. You are responsible for your own taxes that are assessed by the county or city in which the property is located. When working with a potential condo buyer I like to describe the ownership as being that you own what you see, from wall to wall and ceiling to floor. Everything within those walls is yours and therefore yours to decorate and maintain. (We will cover a bit more about the decorate portion in a moment) You also pay toward a portion of the common are... 05/17/2010

Townhomes offer potential buyers an alternative between the single family home and the condo living situation. For many, a townhouse offers the best of both words. With a single family home you have the overall maintenance associated with the property itself and all of the surrounding lot. This remains true for a townhouse, just in many cases the overall size and lot size is reduced, making the property more feasible. This also applies to the affordability of the property. Because it is a bit smaller in size, the price point to enter a townhouse can be lesser than purchasing a single family - detached home in the same area. Reston VA offers some great Townhouse Neighborhoods and Clusters. One of the most amazing is Beacon Hill in Reston VA located on the shores of Lake Audubon. These to... 05/17/2010
