Buying a condominium is a different decision than buying a single-family home — and it requires thinking through a different set of factors. After years of helping buyers find the right home in Montgomery County, Shaina McAndrews has developed a simple checklist that helps clarify whether a specific condo community is truly the right fit.
Run through this list and see how Beaver Hill at 100 West Ave, unit 229S stacks up for you.
Lifestyle Fit
Do you want to eliminate home maintenance from your life? (Beaver Hill: yes)
Do you value access to transit over having a large yard? (Beaver Hill: yes — train directly across the street)
Do you want predictable, all-inclusive housing costs? (Beaver Hill: yes — all utilities included)
Do you want community and neighbors, not isolation? (Beaver Hill: yes — active social groups)
Do you value security and a staffed building? (Beaver Hill: yes — 24-hour doorman)
Space and Functionality
Do you need a dedicated guest room or home office? (229S: yes — 14x12 second bedroom)
Do you want outdoor access from your unit? (229S: yes — private balcony)
Do you need storage beyond your unit? (229S: yes — basement storage locker)
Do you want a full kitchen with gas cooking? (229S: yes — gas stove, stainless appliances)
Do you want two full bathrooms? (229S: yes — primary suite bath plus second bath)
Financial Fit
Is a price of $230,000 within your budget or achievable with reasonable financing? (if yes, proceed)
Are you comfortable with a monthly condo fee that eliminates all utility costs? (if yes, Beaver Hill makes strong sense)
Do you value long-term equity building over renting? (if yes, this is the better financial choice)
