[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Live in one and grew up in one and always lived in one.

Condos are convenient: my family traveled a lot so it was very easy to turn the key and just leave and never have to worry about maintenance.

Even in a townhouse you have to worry about the backyard, what to do with trash, security of the place etc.

Condos fill a niche and aren't for everyone but if you routinely travel and want something in a good location then they work.

Also space wise, if you purchase a larger sized one (which you should if you're a family) they really don't feel smaller than a house and it's all one floor living which makes it so much easier.

+1 on condo living and I can always find them at a discount every time I move and put the difference into the market.

+1 this is one of the reasons we're looking at a condo. We are planning to travel a lot and just want to be able to lockup and go.

Plus:
- no more yard maintenance. We have a huge yard. It was great when the kids were young, but they are now in college, and we don't want to deal with yard maintenance anymore

- I do want access to a pool and gym in the complex. I hate the idea of driving to the gym.

- I do want some walkability.

I'm also ok with  < ~$700 for the amenities and convenience.[/quote]

Not sure you can gym, pool, walkability for $700/month. Maybe a gym and walkability. A pool is expensive to maintain
