One of the requirements of condominium or townhouse ownership is the payment of a monthly condo fee, which covers general repairs and maintenance to the common areas of the complex as well as building up a cash reserve for future needs. In general, all exterior maintenance and repairs are the responsibility of the condominium association, although you will be charged for them, either through your association dues or a special assessment, a one time charge assessed to all owners. The normal day-to-day maintenance of the grounds (some examples are cutting the grass, shoveling snow and maintaining the pool) are also the responsibility of the association. Interior maintenance and repairs (for example, replacing a dishwasher) are the responsibility of the individual owner.

In many areas around Richmond, a condominium maybe a great way to live in a more expensive neighborhood and still fit within your budget. The reason for this is pretty simple. In general, the same square footage will many times cost less in a condo/townhome setting than it will in a single family home, due mainly to land cost.  (You can build many more condos and townhomes than you can single family homes on the same amount of land)

Advantages of Condominiums and Townhomes

• You will be responsible for little or no exterior maintenance or repairs.
• Many condominium communities offer amenities (pools, play areas, tennis courts, etc.) you may otherwise not be able to afford.
• Condominiums and townhomes are often located in Richmond locations convenient to centers of employment and shopping.
• Condominiums and townhomes are often more reasonably priced than other forms of housing.

Is a Condominium for You?

• You want absolutely nothing to do with exterior maintenance and repairs.
• You like the idea of amenities (swimming pools, tennis courts, etc.) but you don’t like the idea of having to pay for them on your own.
• You like the safety of numerous and nearby neighbors.

Having a home on a golf course gives you all of the benefits of living beside a park.  There are open spaces to enjoy, wildlife to watch, and an incredible amount of peace and tranquility. We live on a golf course and our biggest surprise was how quiet our backyard is since we don’t have backyard neighbors. A golf course home makes your property more relaxing and easier to enjoy.  A course also doesn’t have the downsides of a park- because it has controlled access, especially if its a private club.

The clubhouse at most courses is the social centerpiece of the community.An added plus is that you won’t be tempted to drive home after one too many drinks as home is just a few yards away!

Birdwatching from your deck can be another enjoyable perk of living beside a golf course. Courses attract all kinds of birds as they maintain several types of habitat from short grass to scraggly undergrowth to tall trees. Wild birds are also attracted to golf courses because of the ponds and streams often built in to the course.  If you have kids there are many times when late in the evening the golfers have left and they are left with a huge playground to play soccer, football, tag etc.

If you are a golfer living on a course has even more benefits. The proximity to the course encourages more frequent play. After a long day at work, it can be exhausting to think about packing the clubs in the car and driving over to a course for a quick round. Living within walking distance to the course can increase the number of games you get in in a year, which can improve your game immensely.  I walk down to the green on the hole we live on and practice my short game and putting all the time!

Living so close to the course also provides you with more opportunities to be around others who love the sport. You will meet new golfing partners and opponents and have opportunities to play in all kinds of fun events.

A golf course home can also be a great investment in the Richmond area. Because of the scarcity of golf course properties and all of the benefits above, homes on or near a course hold their value in shaky real estate markets and sky-rocket in value during better economic times. While Richmond area golf course home prices continue to stay strong, there are values out there. Skye Bruce Properties has a golf course specialist on staff to help you find that perfect home on the links at a great value.  Contact Skye Bruce Properties today!

Living beside a golf course is an opportunity for both golfers and non-golfers alike!  Check out this great golf course home in the planned golf community of Wyndham in western Henrico County!
