Women appreciate condo lifestyle

Over the past decades, we have seen a huge increase on the number of women home buyers. For many of these women, a new condominium is the perfect choice.

The many amenities offered by new condo communities are very appealing, with varying combinations of commercially equipped gyms, aerobics/yoga/Pilates areas, beautiful swimming pools and whirlpools, wireless media lounges, fabulous party rooms for entertaining, outdoor terraces with phenomenal views.

Modern women enjoy the freedom that comes with being able to travel and just lock the door on their way out, without worrying about lawn maintenance, snow removal, heavy repairs and the like. This carefree lifestyle includes having neighbours close by who can look after plants and feed pets during vacations. 

Another appealing aspect of the condominium lifestyle is the security that comes with services including a concierge and infrastructure features such as monitored cameras in the underground parking garage, enter phone or in-suite security systems, etc.

Last but not least, price is also a factor. The average condo is less expensive then a typically low-rise home, making it more affordable on a single salary.

For these reasons along with many others, it is wonderful to see more and more women benefitting from the perks of owning one's own home.
