Condos and Townhomes

One of the more practical and affordable ways to begin real estate ownership is by purchasing a Condo or Townhouse. For those used to apartment style living, Atlanta Condos and townhomes offer a great transition into the realm of home ownership. With condos, a home owner owns the internal space within their unit. Although no actual land is owned, condo owners do own a fraction of the common areas. Condominiums still appreciate and depreciate in value along with normal market conditions. The difference between townhomes and condos is that townhouse owners actually own a portion of the land on or around their unit.

Atlanta Georgia Condos are often located in more desirable locations than single family houses. Owners of condos also don’t have to worry about yard maintenance, and enjoy amenities such as swimming pools, fitness centers, and community club houses. In exchange for these common amenities, condo owners do have to pay a Home Owners Association fee. This fee varies by condo complex, but is usually around $100 a month. Home buyers considering a Georgia Condominium need to account for the HOA fee when budgeting for their new housing expense.
