More Condo Looking

Yesterday we met our realtor downtown at The Renaissance on Turtle Creek. You can see the building itself above. We actually looked at three units in this building, ranging just a little in price, however, one unit comes fully furnished with beautiful furniture and a huge flat screen television...ideal for us considering we have no furniture.

The units we looked at it were on floors 3, 5 and 9. Heights make both of us nervous and even the unit on the 9th floor balcony was pushing it a bit. We absolutely love this building, because of its location for one. It would be a short commute, 7 miles compared to 27 miles, which means 20 minutes instead of 1 hour each way. Second, the homeowner fees are reasonable compared to many of the others we've looked at. Third, no outside maintenance to contend with.
There are always drawbacks, and a condo. definitely has some. Like, would you always hear your neighbor's TV, do they have loud parties at night? It's not like at an RV park, where if you don't like your neighbor, you leave. Lots to consider for sure.
Today, there are some open houses on other units downtown, so we'll take a look at some more for comparison. Fortunately, we don't have to rush into a decision. :)
