In general, I just want a townhouse in the long-run, because a) houses are too pricey in general, b) a house would be too much work / upkeep for someone like me on my own, d) a townhouse would allow me to stay inner city and hopefully have a backyard (so I can get a dog), and c) condo fees over $500 a month are a real annoyance; I'd like to lower that as much as I can. |
You mean my partner that is crushed with student loans? nah, she is no help (plus we arent married so keeping these things separate).
Same thoughts on townhome though, and for same reasons. My partner couldn't care less about moving into a home/town home so it works for us.
But you hit the nail on the head with condos and the requirement to keep pace with finishings. I look at some of the new places and what they are selling for an cannot believe it. Less square footage and crappy floor plans; but, they have the newest finishings! (i love seeing highrise condos with modern farm house finishing lol)
