We've been living in a condo for the past two and half years. The reason why we choose a condo over a house is primarily because of proximity. We don't actually fancy living in this type of structure but if we had a chance, we'd still repeat the same process. In my perspective, let me share the advantages and disadvantages of living in a box.
The Advantages:
* Brown out free (even during a nasty typhoon like milenyo)
* Great view of the metropolis (at least our unit)
* Guarded 24 hrs a day
* Amenities like a gym, swimming pool and a helipad (yes, a helipad, where a helicopter lands).
The Disadvantages:
* Limited or no green (plants)
* You have to carry the grocery and luggage from the parking area to your unit. (Even though there’s an elevator to assist you, this is the part that I hate most)
* You know when your neighbors are 'doing it'
* Place is too cramped hence it will test your creativity.
Budget dictates that the place will suffice for now. We still dream of living in a real house with a big garden and a 4 car garage. In the end, we'd rather have a 4 car garage which is fully maximized than have an underutilized helipad!
