Wondering if you should stay in a condominium or not? Check out the must have traits of a condo person! You might just fit the bill!
1. You Just Hate Those Wandering Eyes
Love thy neighbours? Well, perhaps not all the time. You are just not into socializing with your neighbours! All you want to do is to avoid any eye contact or any sort of communication with them. Heck, you don’t even know how to start a conversation and why even bother to try! Well, condominiums are like a safe-haven for you! No immediate contact with your neighbours and the best part, (if you have cash to splash), a private lift lobby! No more awkward moments!
2. A Daredevil at Heart
Aren’t you a daredevil at heart? You love heights. The higher, the better as it feeds on your adrenaline rush. If you can’t do bungee jumps every day, living in a high-rise apartment just might give you the thrills! We are not suggesting that you should bungee jump out of your condo. Of course, not, don’t even try. But at least you are 60-storeys up high, in the sky! And it’s a long way down!
3. You’re a Fashionista!
‘Landed property is so yesterday’s news!’ If that’s what going on in your mind, well you are in trend! High-rise apartments are definitely the latest thing in the property market. The designs are current and very much ‘runway’ ready. Yes, you do have the tendency to equate properties to fashion. For you, the apartment’s design must share similarities to what Karl Lagerfeld would design for Chanel or what Marc Jacobs’ home should be! And thankfully, most new apartments share the same sentiment as you!
4. You’re Easily Paranoid!
You suffer from acute paranoia! A slight crack from the back door would give you chills down to your spine! Intruder alert! Does the sight of Jodie Foster and Kristen Stewart fending off robbers in Panic Room gives you nightmares? Hence, condos are just the right properties for you! With multi-layered security checks and access, you would find some comfort and peace of mind. Guards patrolling, dozens of CCTV placed at every corner of the development and those with legitimate access cards could only enter their designated floors. No strangers could roam around your floor easily! Plus, living on the 55th floor will ensure you that nobody in their sane minds would climb that high to rob you!
5. You’re Single and Ready to Mingle!
Yes, single folks are prone to live at high-rise developments. Smaller units are appealing as the smaller it gets, the less hassle it is for them. A studio apartment or a one-bedroom unit would suffice a single folk’s lifestyle. Plus, you could work out at the gym or take a swim at those luxurious infinity pools to take your mind off work and perhaps, mingle with other singletons!
Pick out the condo that best suits your personality here:
– I love my privacy. The less people see me the better!
– Whatever. Anything goes as long as it’s good.
– Ostentatious is my middle name
