Why You Should Choose Condo Living

Living in a condominium is all about lifestyle. It’s a lifestyle that gives you more freedom than a house can, and it’s a lifestyle you can enjoy at any age. Here are five compelling reasons you might not have thought of yet to choose condo living:

You Live in a Great Location

Condos get built in popular areas, and Triple Crown is no exception. Entertainment, restaurants, and shopping are all close by in the vibrant city of Langford. If the great outdoors is more your style, lakes, walking and biking paths and golf courses are all around you. Triple Crown is close to town on the edge of nature.

You Have Peace of Mind and Security

You don’t have to worry about installing alarm systems or video cameras because a two-key system – one for the front door and one for your unit – makes the possibility of robbery slim to none. Your neighbours are a kind of built in block watch! It’s hard for a thief to remove large items from your home without being seen by someone.

You Live Maintenance Free

Because you are living a maintenance-free lifestyle, you have more time to do what you enjoying doing. Who wants to be mowing the lawn when you could be adventuring outdoors or entertaining friends? All those time-consuming tasks like cutting the lawn, weeding the gardens, and cleaning the gutters don’t exist when you live in a condominium. Instead, you contribute to a monthly fee that takes care of maintenance and repairs. Any large, future costs such as roof repairs or window replacements are usually less expensive in a condominium verses a house because everyone contributes.

You Enjoy More Freedom

When you want to travel, you don’t have to plan around house maintenance considerations. Someone else is doing it for you. All you need to do is ask one of your trustworthy neighbours to water your plants while you’re gone, then you can come and go as you please.

You Gain a Community

Condominium living offers great opportunities for a vibrant social life. After all, you live among like-minded people, so there is the potential to develop a friendly, close-knit community. We’ve met and gotten to know all your neighbours, and we know you’ll agree they are all friendly, considerate neighbours.

Start with a Condominium

Over the last few years, rising housing prices have outpaced the ability of many first-time buyers to save a sufficient down payment to service a mortgage for a single-detached house. If you are getting tired of paying rent and you would like to own some real estate, there is an alternative. Purchase a condominium as your first home.
