Downsizing
After my husband died, I moved to a new home for a new start closer to my kids. I have loved this home for 13 years. I’ve been creating the most perfect nest to spend the rest of my days. Now maintenance outdoors has driven me insane between the lawn, the sprinklers, the constant landscape upkeep, and the pool. I am done with all this stress. On top of that my city has had a construction boom of apartment buildings. They will have an additional 5000 apartment units with 9 story towers all around my community.. So I have decided to move. I’m excited yet scared to death. In the end, it’ll be perfect, but just thinking about moving and settling in is scary. I’m going from a single-family home to what we call a coach home. I will enter through the first floor foyer or 2 car garage and living space is all on the second floor. There’s elevator in the unit. It’s a beautiful end unit. There’s only four units per building and it’s lushly landscape gated community and I’d never have to worry about the outdoor maintenance.
I know many of you have already made this decision, any recommendations or suggestions. I haven’t lived in a multi family community in 40 years.
