It been a long day and as Liz gathers her things her thoughts naturally turn to home. As she picks her car keys out of her purse she smiles as she remembers she doesn’t have to face the long commute any longer. Her new condo is only 3 blocks away and she just has a pleasant walk home. Liz admires the shops as she walks ducking into the small grocery to pick up a loaf of bread and picks up the dry-cleaning at another stop. The common areas of her condo are well kept and she feels a great sense of security as she steps into her elevator. Kristen, her new neighbor is just coming home as well. The women share a tidbit or two of their day then Liz remembers she wanted to invite Kristen and her husband for dinner some night this week. Before the part, they settle on a date and time and Liz breezes into her beautiful new condo.
Liz is just one of many in the Omaha market who have discovered the particular convenience of condo living. Location, security, low-maintenance, affordability, and amenities are a few other reasons to consider a change in lifestyle. Condos may offer everything from game rooms, party rooms, theatres, restaurants, underground parking (including car washes), weight rooms, ATMS, pools, tennis courts, 24-hour security, pharmacies, dry cleaners, gardens and in some parts of the country – golf courses.
