You must be able to have an access to the facility of pool, fitness centre; play areas, nearby shopping centers, 24 hours security personnel, and the opportunity to enjoy other amenities.

Before buying always calculate the cost of living in a Condo. It is cheaper than townhouses and stand-alone houses. The obvious reason is that many condos are built on a single piece of land. However, in future condos may become very difficult to sell if the condominium community association is difficult to deal with or the association fees mounts too high.

Before buying the one, know well about the proximity to your neighbors and ensure of the area offers greater opportunities to meet new people.  If it offers close proximity with the neighbors, you are likely to have less privacy. But you will surely enjoy a cordial and friendly environment.
