When people hear the word condominium, the first thing that comes to their mind is high-rise buildings packed with different units and amenities only fit for the rich and those with a luxurious lifestyle, as well as a hectic work life. While this perception can be true, it does not always follow.
When you start browsing through the many options in this category and see its many features and amenities, you’ll quickly learn that there are different kinds of condominium units — and believe it or not, they are not always built to cater to the fast-paced city life. 32 Sanson by Rockwell tells us more.
Location
If you want to have a break from the hustle and bustle of the city without leaving its comfort, finding the right one that offers the best of both worlds is definitely something to consider.
For example, you could enjoy the many benefits of living in a condo — round-the-clock security, privacy, an elevated lifestyle, and extra features such as in-house pools or gyms — but far from the busy, crowded, noisy and overwhelming streets of the city. The key to finding one that suits your lifestyle is choosing the right location.
Budget
Be more relaxed and stress-free by choosing a place that works well with your budget. You might have found a serene location but if your bills are keeping you up at night, then it might not be the right choice for you. Identify the things you cannot live without and those that you are willing and able to compromise, and then adjust your budget accordingly.
Condominium Type
As mentioned, condominiums are more than just high-rise buildings. There are types that will give you the feel of living in a resort, in a different country, culture, or simply giving you a homey feel. The choice will depend on your preference and priority. Additionally, there are condos that allow pets — something most people used to think was something exclusive to house-and-lot living arrangements.
The View
Most condominiums that offer a breather from the city are located in places that boast significant views of nature. Make the most of this opportunity by choosing a unit that will inspire you to wake up each day with the magnificent view of the sunrise.
Be it a beach view, mountain view, or simply a serene overlooking image of the town can make a whole lot of difference in your lifestyle — and even mental health. Studies show that exposure to nature or scenic views can relieve stress and release hormones that fight negative thoughts related to mental health conditions, such as depression and anxiety, triggered by living in a developed world.
Who says condo living is only reserved for spots in a big city? All you need is to do your research and talk to the right experts. If you look in the right places, you could be able to have the best of both worlds — enjoying the convenience of “big-city” living, with the comforts of a laidback country life close to nature.
