Now That's the Home for You

If you are at a point in which you are ready to buy your first real estate property for sale, you may have put a lot of time into thinking about whether you want a condo, townhome, or single-family house.

While you may love the idea of gardening in your front yard and backyard with a house, you may end up deciding on a condo. Although you may not have such easy gardening opportunities with a condo, you can make certain priorities to buy a condo where you can still garden comfortably.

Shared Garden

When you look at all the amenities in a condo community, you should look at every one to see if there is a community garden. Some communities will provide their residents with a dedicated garden plot that allows them to grow plants and take care of them as if they had a backyard.

If you like the idea of gardening alongside your neighbors, you should not hesitate to prioritize this particular amenity when looking at individual units and condo communities.

Windows

Another way that you will be able to garden in the condo that you buy is by picking units that have long and wide window sills. This feature will make it possible to set up potted plants along the whole surface and give them all the sunlight that they need to grow and thrive. If you want to grow a lot of plants, you should prioritize these large window sills throughout an entire condo.

Balcony

Buying a condo with a decent-sized balcony is worthwhile because this is a space that you will be able to treat like a backyard. Although it may not be like a traditional yard, you can still set up all sorts of planting containers in the balcony to grow lots of plants and even some small trees.

If you want to grow certain plants, you should consider the location of the balcony because you may know that your plants will demand a lot of sunlight or shade. When direct sunlight is required for your desired plants to grow, you should demand balconies that get direct sunlight every day.

When you are more interested in growing a wide variety of plants, you should look for the largest balconies because they will give you enough space to set up furniture and plants comfortably.

With these details in mind, you should be able to find a condo with several gardening options.
