In Florida we all do not live in conods on the beach although we are never really too far from it!
And one other thing.... Florida condo living is not all older folks running around in pastel colored shirts, Bermuda shorts, and sipping on mimosas!
I will admit there are a few like that but you usually can spot them as the slow drivers with their right turn signal on for miles! [I am kidding, lighten up...you'll spill your drink on your pink shirt!]
Many prospective home buyers in central Florida consider condos and town houses as possible alternatives to purchasing a single family (detached) home. Many single professionals consider condos as it seems to mesh better with their active lifestyle.
Who should consider a condo purchase? There is no checklist you must be on to buy a condo but some who may be right for condo living include:

Who should consider a condo purchase? There is no checklist you must be on to buy a condo but some who may be right for condo living include:
- If you are not the handyman type and don’t like to spend your off hours grooming the landscaping then condo living may be right for you.
- If you like having a pool, a spa, exercise facilities but don’t want to worry with upkeep, then a condo can be a good fit.
- If you don’t mind being close to your neighbors then a condo may be right for you.
- If you don’t mind being bound by the often strict condo association rules, then a condo may be right for you.

Gary; After a long cold winter, with plenty of snow, that drink and a few rounds of golf in the warm sun sounds very inviting. Now let me see, Where's my free air miles folder?
Ken - Come on down. Someone selling as much real estate in New York certainly has the spare change to buy a condo here!
Gary, I think that a condo can be a great option for certain people. So many include water and cable. And so many have great amenities - like pools, clubhouses, exercise rooms, sauna, tennis, shuffleboard. And you don't have to cut your own lawn. It depends on the condo and it depends on the person.
Sandy - The condo lifestyle is appealing for sure...especially at my age! Thanks.
Condo living has its appeal for sure Gary. Lock up and go with no worries. Condo rules can be a pain,but they are a necessity.
Al & Peggy - The condo lifestyle does give one a lot of flexibility within the rules. Thanks.
