Here is what you need to know about Buying or Selling a Condo or Townhome in The Mountain Park Ranch area of Ahwatukee.
f you are thinking about buying or selling a condo or townhome in The Mountain Park Ranch area of Ahwatukee you have the choice of several Communities. These range from one to three-bedroom units. The major benefit of buying a condo or townhome is no yard work!
The HOA community takes care of exterior maintenance, yard work, and common area maintenance. No house to paint, no roof repairs to worry about! All have access to the 3 community pools and spas, including a pool that is heated in the winter.
Who wouldn’t want access to a pool and spa without the work of upkeep and expense of maintenance and repairs? Some communities have their own pool/spa areas, offering several pool options.
What is the difference between a condominium (condo) and a townhouse? Often, condos more resemble apartment living in a bottom unit and upstairs unit. While living in an upstairs unit may be all one floor, you need to go up a flight of stairs to get home!
A townhouse usually has two levels and shared common walls. Your bedrooms are usually upstairs but you have the benefit of no one living above you. There are also single-level condos and townhouses to see as well.
