Here are some reasons that may sway you to the wonderful world of condo living.

It’s true – location is everything! With a premier location in the living room of Atlanta between the arts of Midtown and the business district and shops of Buckhead, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the city’s finest cultural venues, stores, and restaurants.

Relax – little to no maintenance. Forget spending your weekends doing the lawn, cleaning out the gutters, and puttering around trying to organize your garage. Here’s what you can look forward to with your Homeowner’s Association membership (at The Astoria):

• Basic cable
• Keypad monitored security systems
• Common area maintenance
• Landscaping maintenance and seasonal care
• Pool care
• Fitness center
• Trash removal
• 24-hour Concierge
• Pest control – interior and exterior
• Exterior window washing
• Hazard and liability insurance

Yes – you can afford it! Not only can you live in a highly desirable area of the city without paying the ridiculous price you would for a single-family home, but you will also save big bucks on your utilities! Residents have reported paying 30% of what they paid in their former homes.

Some other great benefits include breathtaking views from your new home, unmatched security services, community and neighbor events, and unbeatable, luxurious amenities, including a guest suite!

Go on – make that appointment with an agent at The Astoria before they’re completely sold out. You know we’ve got you a little curious!

So, what are these new homeowners finding here that they love? Without a doubt, there are many beautiful luxury homes to be found in Atlanta, and with the current state of the market, there are certainly good deals to be had. It’s rare, however, to find gorgeous design and lavish detail and unbelievable real estate value together in one home. The homes at The Astoria at The Aramore seamlessly blend incredible quality, beauty and location with great affordability.

Jack Williams, Business Director of Kairos Development Corporation, which built The Astoria at The Aramore in 2009, says the Atlanta condominium market has now matured to offer a wide array of price points, styles, and locations. Buyers can now choose the home that best fits their life, rather than having to look within the limits of cost alone.

Williams points out that buyers are enjoying new freedom in their lives, as well. They have climbed the corporate ladder, raised their kids—now they finally have time for themselves. They’re filling their lives with things that are most important to them, and their choice of home reflect those priorities.

“The condominium lifestyle gives you time for all the things that you never had time for in the past,” Williams says. “Community service, a new hobby, politics, walks in the park, trying new restaurants, and travel are good examples. The other styles of home ownership require a great deal of you. With an condominium, the HOA handles everything and you’re free to live life.”
