Do you want to take care of a yard? Do you want/like the ammenities that come with a condo, like a pool/workout room/tennis courts etc? Do you like having closer neighbors for companionship, or safety?<br/><br/>But if those things are not factors, then dollar for dollar a single family home will always appreciate in value faster than a condo. Plus the taxes and association fees are normally lower.</strong><strong>[content removed by moderator for being self-promotional]<br/>Karen</strong> Mon, 19 Jan 2009 04:00:00 GMT http://www.zillow.com/advice-thread/Debating-between-condo-and-single-family-home-I%27m-68-year-old-retired-female-Any-suggestions/189878/ 2009-01-19T04:00:00Z
