Location, i hear you ask? That's pretty general, isn't it? Sure, but location has a lot of different things. At most general level, many urban condos are located in the heart of cities. But if you break it down further - say within biking or walking distance - urban condos are near bars and restaurants, sporting events, theaters and other arts, public transit. Unlike some of my suburban friends, I haven't got to get behind the wheel to experience just about any cultural or sports event I want.
While my job entails plenty of driving into and out of the city, there are numerous people who elect to live without cars. They could do so as their condo if close to the place they work. Individuals who work at home might just have to walk along the hallway to access their desks; anyone who has condos near their office take pleasure in the next best thing. Oftentimes, they could walk for work and avoid problems associated with driving and parking. If they want to go home and have lunch, they have the option. At the same time, if they wish to go for happy hour or dinner after work, there probably are multiple options in seconds of their office or their condo.
Another facet of condo locations I like is that people often arrived at where I'm. Given my condo is really close to the activities people enjoy, they drive into the city and deal with parking. I simply meet them at the restaurant or stadium. When it's time to head home, I've a few-minute walk before me, while my pals have to get within their cars and drive not less than a few minutes.
Finally, shopping. As i am not a big shopper myself, the options within walking distance are nearly endless. There are department stores and retailers carrying brands of clothing and residential ware that everyone would recognize, to small, independent shops where one can get things you can't get elsewhere. If I need a last-minute gift for someone, or have been thinking about the perfect gift for months, I most likely simply have to go for a walk to go get it.
As I said earlier inside the article, all of us have reasons for residing in condos. Even though location tops this list for me, I possibly could go on and on about why I love it. That is a topic for an additional day.
