If you're thinking about making a move in one of the Washington DC suburbs of Arlington or Alexandria, are you considering buying a condominium or a single-family home?

If you're thinking about making a move in one of the Washington DC suburbs of Arlington or Alexandria, are you considering buying a condominium or a single-family home?

The number of condominium owners  in Arlington has risen dramatically in the last few years. Arlington Condos are a popular option because they are often more affordable, require fewer maintenance and landscaping chores, suit busy lifestyles, and serve well as a first home or downsizing from a larger house. Here are some differences to consider:

Condos
  • There are usually fewer maintenance requirements.
  • They can be less expensive than a single-family home.
  • You own the space between the walls.
  • There may be more security with neighbors close by.
  • The exterior of the building, landscaping, surrounding roads, driveways and
    common areas are owned by the condo association, a group made up of all
    unit owners.
  • Special assessments by the association for painting or repairs can add
    significant expense.
  • condominium in Arlington are relatively newer than their single family home counterparts for the same amount of money.

Arlington Single-Family Homes
  • They usually offer more storage space.
  • You own the interior as well as the exterior.
  • You have to do the maintenance, landscaping and repairs.
  • Unless you live in a gated community, you don't have condo association dues.
  • You don't have to worry about special assessments.
  • You have room to grow plants, flowers, trees, veggies, etc. 
  • They are usually older. New construction in Arlington Virginia, is a rare find and will cost you big money.
Look at your lifestyle and consider how your household may change over the next few years. Will you have enough space in a condo? Or will you be happier in a house with room for a garden?
