I've lived in my condo for over eleven years. It has pros and cons, and I think most of the cons could be addressed by moving to a house. A house would gain me some distance from neighbors, a bit more flexibility to do as I please with the building, and a little more space.
But the big pro with the condo is simplicity. I can go away for a week, and the only thing I do is schedule a cat sitter and stop my mail. Lawn care, snow removal, major maintenance is all done by the association, so if I'm not home, it has no impact. Even when I'm home, my weekly routine is if it's nice after work I can go for a run. I don't need to get home to mow a lawn or trim hedges.
My question for all of you is how much work is it owning your own home? Am I over thinking it, or does it really take a fair amount of time very regularly?
