A condominium is a building in which the apartment, or interior living quarters, is legally ?real property? owned by an individual. Although condo owners are subject to building regulations and home owner association (HOA) policies, an owner may sell, lease or renovate the condo to suit his or her preferences.
For busy individuals, condos offer a great opportunity to own a home without the responsibility of exterior upkeep. Most Atlanta condominiums include HOA fees which include exterior building, common area and landscape maintenance. HOA fees often include rights to use special amenities and services such as workout facilities, swimming pools, business centers, pest control and garbage collection. Some condominium complexes also offer 24-hour security or concierge service.
The Atlanta market is abundant with condominium offerings and each comes with a unique set of amenities and special services. Look across the Atlanta skyline and you will see numerous upscale high rise condominiums towering over the busy streets below. For the working professional, this may be the perfect solution to long commutes and busy days.
Many condos are now situated in mixed use communities where developers have incorporated places to work, live and play all within a few blocks. Perfect for a young professional, retiree or the environmentally conscious, the community allows residents to live within walking distance of all their needs with plenty of retail, dining and nightlife options right outside the door.
Other condominium complexes offer a family environment with gated access, safe community roads, common play areas for pets and larger living spaces. These communities offer a safe and friendly environment for families to raise children and socialize with others.
Whether you are a busy professional, growing family or recently retired, a condo may be the perfect solution for your lifestyle. The range of condo buildings in Atlanta and the amenities they offer are numerous, so do your homework and find the one that fits your needs best.
