Who Lives at a Condo?

Empty nesters: People without children or whose children have grown up and moved out are attracted by the low-maintenance, amenities and security of community association living.

Working couples: Double-income couples can afford traditional homes, but many prefer community association living because they don’t have to spend as much time on maintenance.

Singles: Community associations offer affordable homeownership for those with a single income.

Retirees: Low-maintenance, security, lifestyle and amenities are all aspects of community association living that appeal to senior Americans.

First-time buyers: Many first-time buyers find it easier to enter the real-estate market with the relatively lower cost of co-op, condominium and planned community units.

Investors: Community associations appeal to investors because they often compensate for shortages in the local rental markets.
