Where will my unit be in relation to sanitation and laundry facilities?
Being near the laundry, sanitation room or pool can pose noise- and smell-related hazards. You could end up living in a condo that constantly smells of bleach, chlorine or cleaning supplies. If your unit backs onto the parking lot or alleyway behind your complex, make sure you ask where the Dumpsters will be placed. A balcony becomes significantly less charming if it offers a scenic—not to mention fragrant—view of a building’s trash, especially in mid-summer. What is the building’s expected occupancy? Be sure to ask how many people you’ll be sharing the services and amenities of your condo with. Do some math: Will a laundry room built for five washers and dryers be big enough if a quarter of the tenants opt to do their laundry on a Sunday afternoon? If the gym has only three treadmills, how long might you have to wait after work to get onto one? Also, ask about what the expected ratio will be of owners to renters. Owners are more likely to take better care of their units than renters.
