Two popular options for urban living are condos and townhomes. While they may appear similar at first glance, a closer look might reveal that condo living is the perfect fit for you!

Urban living offers two choices; condos and townhouses. Although they may seem alike initially, a closer look might reveal that condo living is the perfect fit for you!

Let’s explore the distinctive features of living in a condominium!

1. Easier Upkeep: Living in a condominium comes with its perks, the building association takes care of the property’s exterior and common areas, such as landscaping, corridors, and rooftops. Giving you a break from upkeep tasks outside your unit like taking the trash out and maintenance. This allows you to focus on just your home, elevating your living experience.

2. Advanced Security: Security in condos provides numerous benefits that boost safety and peace of mind for residents. Controlled access systems, including keypads and video intercom, restrict entry to authorized individuals, while surveillance cameras in common areas and around the building act as a deterrent to suspicious activity.

3. Single-Floor Living: Condos often feature single story layouts making them ideal for those who prefer to avoid stairs or have mobility limitations.

4. Desirable Amenities: Additionally condo buildings usually come equipped with amenities that boosts your quality of life. From rooftop terraces with views to secure parcel rooms for package deliveries these amenities make daily living convenient and stress free. With facilities, like bike storage and covered parking your transportation needs are well taken care of in weather conditions. You wouldn’t usually see these features in a townhouse unless you put them in yourself.

5. Elevator Access: Elevators allow residents to easily and comfortably move between their unit, rooftop and parking area. They make navigating a story condo building easier by removing the need for stairs, which is especially beneficial for those with mobility issues carrying heavy groceries or large items.

Living in a multi-story townhouse can have many drawbacks:

1. Numerous Stairs: Living in a townhouse with stairs can be quite a hassle. Having levels can make tasks and getting around more exhausting and less comfortable than living on just one floor. 

2. Limited Shared Amenities: In compact townhouse developments, amenities that residents want to elevate their urban living experience are frequently missing. 

3. Maintenance Responsibilities: Owning a townhouse typically involves more upkeep responsibilities like roof maintenance, siding, landscaping, and sometimes shared driveways or common areas.

4. Narrow Width: Each floor typically only includes a few spaces creating a sense of separation and limiting the openness of the home. For townhomes situated in the middle a row, natural light can only come from the front or back of the unit.

Imagine having evenings spent at rooftop soirees, and weekends exploring Raleigh’s trails, parks, street festivals, and restaurants galore. It’s all within reach at Loft3.
