Are Condos For You?
Do you love the idea of living in Albuquerque but find the prices of single-family real estate out of your reach? Condos in Albuquerque may be the perfect solution for you. Condos can be within your price range and give you the ability to own your own home without responsibility of time-consuming maintenance and caring for a yard. A condo in Albuquerque can be ideal for couples, those who work in the city and seniors looking to downsize and relax without the worry of difficult and costly home maintenance.
Condos vs. Buying a Home
The individual units normally share walls, but that isn’t a requirement. The main difference in condos and regular single homes is that there is no individual ownership of a plot of land. All the land in the condominium project is owned in common by all the homeowners. Usually, the exterior maintenance is paid for out of homeowner dues collected and managed under strict rules. The exterior walls and roof are insured by the condominium association, while all interior walls and items are insured by the homeowner.
Like townhomes, condos are also found in and around single-family residential areas, so they are a great way to have affordability in high end areas.
Downtown Condos in Albuquerque
Condos located downtown are great for those who want to be close to work so that they don’t have to drive. Having condos downtown also puts you in the middle of all the shopping, dining, and cultural activities for which Albuquerque is famous. Street festivals, art galleries, and shopping in fun and funky vintage shops are just a short walk from home. You can eat out at a different restaurant every night and spend your weekends enjoying the city and relaxing without the bother of keeping up a lawn. Many condos in Albuquerque have garden and park areas. You can also find parks and recreational activities near your condo.
Whether you prefer downtown condos where the culture and excitement of the city are right outside your front door or closer proximity to the mountains and the desert, there are condos for sale in Albuquerque that are just right for your needs.
Condos – A Great Retirement Option?
If you’ve been dreaming of retiring to one of Albuquerque’s areas but don’t want the responsibility of a large house and property anymore, consider an Albuquerque condo. Condos allow you to enjoy desert living close to the Sandia Mountains without worrying about maintaining your home and lawn or paying someone else to do it. Living in a condo can also give you a feeling of security and community. If you’ve spent your adult life going to work and then coming home to work on your house, put that behind you and relax. Come home to the ease and community of condo living in Albuquerque.
