3. Swimming in the pool is something quite common if you join a club if you want to pay or if not simply join Safra club. Or if not, just paying ticket to a nearby swimming pool or water resort will do. With condo, you will be paying high maintenance fees and you may even feel stress if you didn't have time to utilise the facilities full to the value in the future. This may turn out to be fun anymore. Same with gym. It is only interesting as a dream. Once you are in it, it is quite expensive experience with no significant value. |
If everyone thinks like you, then no one will buy a condo. A condo gives you convenience, you can just walk down from your unit and enjoy the gym, pool, landscaping, etc. if you use public facilities, you have to walk far and not much privacy. These places are crowded and you never know what kind of pervert characters around. You don't want your children or even yourself to be victims. A condo also provide security, you won't worry about vandals & painting of O$P$ on your flat wall. You won't have salesmen knocking on your door.
Why would some people pay millions for a condo? It is a status symbol. Once you can afford a condo, you have made it. All your hard work from young till now finally pays off.
