Condo or single-family? Weighing the trade-offs

Many of our clients split their time between cities, and the choice between a condominium and a house often comes down to how they actually live.

A condominium suits you if…

You travel often, value security and services, and prefer views and amenities to a garden. Look closely at association finances, rules on rentals and pets, and the building’s maintenance history.

A house suits you if…

You want privacy, outdoor space, room for family or staff, and control over renovations. Budget for maintenance, insurance and security yourself.

There is no universal answer; there is usually a clear answer for each family once we write down a typical week.
