Many baby boomers across the U.S. are considering downsizing from their urban McMansion into a luxury downtown condominium. Their desire to downsize is fueled by the characteristics associated with urban condo living such as low maintenance, luxury amenities, nearby fine dining & shopping, less time in traffic, etc. As much as these benefits of condo living improve the quality of life, adequate storage space for storing items such as clothing, bicycles, holiday decorations, books, etc. should be considered carefully before purchasing. When visiting a condo that you are considering purchasing, make sure to inspect all hallway, bedroom, & garage closet space to ensure that there is enough for your needs. Newly built condo developments have more recent floor plan design and tend to reflect current consumer demand for walk-in bedroom closets and larger hallway closet & garage storage. If you are considering purchasing a condo in a high rise development project, your parking space will likely be underground. Often the developer will offer storage rooms either directly in front of your parking space or nearby. These storage units usually cost a premium over the base price of the condo so be sure to ask if this is the case. In addition, residents are typically allowed to sell their storage unit to another resident who may need additional storage space. Source: scottsdale-az-condos.com
