You’re choosing not just a home, but a lifestyle. Here’s the side-by-side to help you decide.
Team Condo (Low-Maintenance Living)
Pros: Less upkeep, amenities, urban locations, lock-and-leave.
Consider: Monthly condo fees, rules/bylaws, and the status certificate (Ontario’s “health check” for the building).
Team House (Space + Freedom)
Pros: Yard, privacy, renovation flexibility, no condo board.
Consider: More maintenance, higher utility costs, time commitment.
Who Usually Chooses What?
Condos: First-time buyers, downsizers, busy pros, frequent travelers.
Houses: Growing families, hobbyists, garden lovers, long-term planners.
