I do not have time OR I do not want to mow the lawn, rake leaves, weed the garden, etc. In short, I don't have a green thumb and have no interest in acquiring one!

(Answer: YES or NO )
For the next 5 years or so, I do NOT expect my lifestyle to change to the point whereas I will need different housing accommodations based on my immediate / existing housing criteria. (Answer: YES or NO )
I can happily live in a multi-unit Condominium / Townhouse complex with neighbors in close proximity, etc. (Answer: YES or NO )
I do not want or need to control everything regarding my housing accommodations. EXAMPLE: Some complexes prohibit changes to the exterior or certain interior modifications since certain types of modifications can affect the overall structure of the building itself. (Answer: YES or NO )

Those are the “big questions”. If you have answered “YES” to all of the questions above then your lifestyle is well suited for multi-unit Condominium / Townhouse living. If you answered “NO” to any of the answers, carefully re-consider if that issue is critical for you and a “showstopper”. If it is showstopper, a single family home would be much better suited for your lifestyle needs. Click below to search for Condo/Townhome communities in North Atlanta.
