To HOA or Not HOA?

Imagine living directly across from the soon-coming (we hope) Streets of Buckhead (Georgia’s version of Rodeo Drive), or being in walking distance to your office on Wall St., or reveling in the sounds of jazz coming from the Detroit Riverfront.  Whether you are in Atlanta, New York, Detroit, or another urban area, townhouses and condos are stylish and maybe the most economical option to allow you to live close to your city’s hustle and bustle.    Moreover, you may love the low-maintenance lifestyle condos and townhouses afford you but there are several questions you should have answered by the Homeowner’s Association (HOA) before making an offer.

Places To Love: HOPE SPRINGS MANOR

Foreclosure, foreclosure, foreclosure!  That seems to be the new mantra attempting to replace location, location, location but in many cases if you have one, the other is excluded.  But what if you can get both?  There are still great real estate foreclosure deals available in some of the most prominent areas of Metro Atlanta.  One such great deal (if townhomes suit your fancy) are the units at Hope Springs Manor that have now been lender foreclosed. 

PLACES TO LOVE: Lafayette Square Townhomes
