    buying a condo Retro Furniture

    Condominiums, like the idyllic Daytona Beach condo you might have seen online, are individually sold units within a shared piece of property or living complex. The condominium community lifestyle is rapidly gaining popularity for its value for money and the freedom from the hassle of maintenance. Buying a condo typically comes with a wide range of amenities such as swimming pools, fitness centers and playing courts, at a comparatively affordable price. For many people and families, condos are a better alternative as compared to traditional, single-family homes. Having said that, it’s important to be aware of what you’re signing up for before you make the purchase. Here are a few things you would want to know before buying and owning a condo.

  • Oh What A Vacation!

    Cave tour

    First, that vacation was AAAAAAHHHHHHMAZING!!!!!  Yes, I missed all of my little Peanuts. But, I had a great time with my kids (Selena and Zachary) and families. Mostly an awesome time with granddaughter Alice. I also got to spend some quality time with my bonus granddaughter Olivia. The girls are 8 and 10 so they got along fabulously.
