Condo living is generally marketed as being a cool and carefree way to live. And I confess that when I’m outside raking leaves at this time of year with my fingers freezing off and movies I want to see and a dog that wants to go for a run – I dream of turning the key on the door to a downtown condo and heading out to do any one of those things, except raking leaves.

There’s a real likelihood that I will move into a condo at some point but, after spending a year looking into condo life, I’ll approach that move much more carefully than I would have when I was raking leaves last October.

Here’s some of what can go wrong.
