Wanted to know your preference .Myself could never live in a condo as like I am clostrophobic and I hate elevator and neighbours are just a little too close all together . Houses have back yards and I love bbq in the summer and the pool in the back .My friend just paid 500,000 fo a small condo overlooking the lake and had to get rid of most of her furniture as it was not big enough to accomodate everything she had.On top she's stuck paying maintenance high monthly maintenance fees as well .
her positive is that she lives in the city with the lake view.I guess I am more of a suburban person ...but wanted to know what is the preference of the rest of you out there :)

Are you kidding me right now?
I have been sitting here in Indiana watching these condo's go up fast and for what purpose do they serve? I used to live in an apartment complex and hated it. I moved to a house. Now I see these not-so-smart people BUY these apartments that they want to call condo's. I do not grasp this idea at all. Why would you want to own a single apartment that is actually more expensive then renting an apartment. You have noise problems from your neighbors, or what if you do not like your really close close neighbor, you may even have maintenance problems (getting them there to fix something), and to think that you just bought those headaches. No thanks! no way! no how!
A get rich quick scheme I think!

Condos are ideal for people who -
- don't have the time to ....
- don't like to .....
- don't have a clue how to ....
- find it demeaning to ....
- can't be bothered to ....
.... constantly maintain house and garden. And it can be quite a job to do it well.
Anybody else ....definitely house and garden!
