Condos

Condos...where to start?  There are so many to choose from, so many styles, it can be confusing.  Even trying to decide if a condo is right for you can be a hard decision.
Condos are a great way to get into an area of town where traditional home prices are pricier.  Since condos are basically homes on top of homes, you can generally get a cheaper price / square foot for the condos since you can fit more homes on the land.
 
When deciding to buy a new home, there are a couple of decisions you need to make before you start looking.  First thing I would suggest to is know how much can you afford...but did you know that the amount of home you can afford will vary between a traditional home and a condo? 

Hirise Condo
 
Just drive down Peachtree and you'll experience the popularity of the Hirise Condos in Atlanta.  Many developers have gravitated to these styles of condos that offer full service amenities; such as conceirge, pools, media rooms, fitness centers, clubrooms and full time on-site property management companies.  Recently many developers have added the street level retail and restaurant component, adding to the hirise living experience.

Garden Condos
 
Garden Condos could be easily compared to a traditional apartment.  Many are 2 or 3 levels, no elevator and smaller complexes with little or few amenities to large complexes with various amenities such as pools, tennis courts and clubhouses.  Even Garden Condos have a variety of styles from the historical brick walk ups like in Virginia Highlands to the large aparment conversions you see in parts of the city.

Condos are often a part of a Home Owner's Association (HOA), which will require a seperate monthly payment to the HOA for services covered and paid for by the HOA.  HOA fees could cover liability insurance, common area maintenance and utilities and even some utilities such as water, trash or internet.  Generally, the more services and amenities provided in the complex, the higher the HOA dues.
Condos are also a great way for people that are not wanting a traditional living experience.  Let's face it, yard work is not for everyone.  Condos allow the owners a way to have ownership in property, without having to deal with many of the typical home owner maintenance and upkeep required as in a traditional home.  Condos are also a great way for owners that would like to have fitness facilities, pools and clubrooms within their complexes.
 
So, if you think that a condo is the way for you, then there is a variety of condos for you to choose from.  Whether it be a garden style, a mid-rise, a hi-rise or a townhouse, Atlanta offers ample options to meet your price range, wants and needs.

Midrise Condos
 
Typically 4 - 6 stories, Midrise Condos generally have elevators, several amenities to full service amenities, and have a property management company oversee the business of the building.  You will find a variety of Midrise Condos and Midrise Loft buildings around town.

Townhouses
 
Townhomes have gained popularity for many that want to live in popular intown neighborhoods that want the feel of a home without the higher single family home prices.  Some towhouse complexes even have private small yard space for the owners.  Townhouses have also gained popularity for those that want some of the typical single family home responsibilties, but the convenience of condo living...without a neighbor above you.
