[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.

If you leave for a long period of time, you still have to check on your condo, or have someone check on it.  Apartments can get damaged by neighbors sharing ceiling and walls, flooding is especially common.  Also window damage, water coming from window insulation breaking, pest infestation you may not be aware of, that can come from neighbors, etc.   A condo isn't frozen it time just because you lock the door.

Thanks for this input as I've often considered "lock and leave" part of the appeal and need to be thinking realistically. How about mail at a condo?[/quote]
