Today, we are going to answer all of your questions about Kew Gardens condos<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ text_font=”|600|||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”|-145px||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n What Is the Difference Between Kew Gardens Condos and Co-ops?<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”|-145px||||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n The most significant difference between condos and co-ops<\/a> is ownership. If you own a condo, it’s that simple. Your unit is your own. If you own a co-op, you are technically a shareholder (we’ll discuss that in another post).<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”|-145px||||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n You will probably need a mortgage to finance a condo purchase, while a share loan is the key to a co-op. A real estate agent specializing in urban housing will guide you through these differences.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ text_font=”|600|||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”|-145px||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Who Is Responsible for Condo Maitenance?<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”|-145px||||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Condo dwellers typically enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle in exchange for a monthly maintenance fee. This fee generally covers common-area upkeep, exterior maintenance, some utilities and the cost of amenities.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”|-145px||||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n We said “low-maintenance,” not “no maintenance.” As a condo owner, you will be responsible for your unit’s interior. You’ll need to budget money for these unexpected expenses in addition to your monthly maintenance fee.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ text_font=”|600|||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”|-145px||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n What Type of Amentities Will I Have Access to in a Condo?<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”|-145px||||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Amenities vary widely between Kew Gardens condos, but one thing is certain: If you want amenities, condos are a great place to find them! Popular perks include a doorman, fitness facilities, on-site laundry and of course, a coveted parking spot!<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.6″ text_font=”|600|||||||” background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”|-145px||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Are Condos Affordable?<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”|-145px||||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Kew Gardens condos tend to have a lower price point compared to single-family homes<\/a>, even after you consider the monthly maintenance fee. If you are house-hunting on a budget, it is worth your time to add condos to your list.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.1″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” custom_margin=”|-145px||||” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
