When an apartment may fit
An apartment can simplify security, shared amenities and exterior maintenance. In exchange, examine fees, rules, collective decisions, reserves and restrictions on use.
When a villa may fit
A villa offers more control, privacy and space, but concentrates responsibility for structure, garden, pool, security and services. The land and legal access also require review.
Compare total cost and real use
Do not decide from the advertised price. Project five years of fees, insurance, preventive maintenance, furniture, management and repairs, then consider how often you will use each advantage.
