Is it time for you to move? Have you ever assessed new housing options and asked yourself, "is condo living right for me"? No matter what reasons you have for reconsidering your current living situation, condominiums can offer housing solutions that might suit you just right. Condos share some of the essential freedoms that homeowners accrue while enjoying the low maintenance typically found with apartments.

Generally, condos come in a variety of different models: they can be ranch-style houses, split-level homes, low-rise buildings, townhouses, “mixed use” buildings, and more. Condos can be bought brand new or they can be resold or converted from apartments and old factories. In addition to the change of scenery, condo homeowners can gain a new and exciting community in which you can live in.

Change can be tough, and deciding on where to move will require a little bit of research. That’s why we at Lewis Builders Development wanted to explore reasons prospective buyers might want to become part of a condominium community. From exterior maintenance relief to adopting a larger community, condo living might be the answer you’ve been looking for.


1.) Seeking Community Lifestyle

Condominiums are developed as a community. Some complexes share unique ownership perks such as a fitness center, meditation rooms, libraries, and other types of utility rooms. Our Sawmill Ridge property offers great communal amenities such as a community center, RV Parking and Storage, a community garden area, and wooded walking trails. Amenities encourage owners to network within their community, meet their neighbors, share space, and enjoy each other's company.


2.) Need Relief from Exterior Maintenance

Several single-family homeowners grow frustrated with maintaining everything that goes into a home. With a condo, you won't have to waste time or energy with constant up-keep. At Sawmill Ridge, our exterior maintenance crew will provide services on the exterior of your home from lawn care to plowing snow. This way, you can circumvent those laborious chores, and spend some well-deserved time enjoying a fresh cup of coffee and the newspaper.


3.) Want More Control Over the Neighborhood

Most condo associations implement rules and regulations that owners must abide by to live in the community. This will prevent your neighbors from placing tasteless ornaments on their lawns or adding anything unsavory to their decks and patios. At Lewis Builders properties, residents have the freedom to voice their opinions on implementing rules and regulations by consulting management or attending the association meetings within the community. Rules can be added and adjusted as the need arises by an association vote and amended by the Board of Directors.


4) Adapting to Personal Life Changes

Are you undergoing some personal life changes and looking to downsize? Have the kids finally moved out of your home? Are you retired and working to refinance your budget? These are all reasons people choose to move on to condo ownership. Becoming a condo owner can help ease the burden of any lifestyle transition that comes your way. Additionally, with maintenance covered, you’ll be able to afford more space to do the things you love and enjoy the ‘me time’ that you deserve.


Just because you’re downsizing doesn’t meant that you’re alone. Hundreds of people are choosing to move to condominiums to build a community and enjoy moments of peace whenever you decide to have them.

At Lewis Builders, the health and safety of our customers and employees is our top priority. We have been closely monitoring COVID-19 (coronavirus). Lewis Builders has advised all employees that if they are experiencing any symptoms to remain home as a precaution so as not to infect co-workers or customers they may come in contact with, and to notify us if they have traveled to any areas of concern. We are currently maintaining normal operations and advise all to follow the most current guidance from the Center for Disease Control, as well as state and local agencies. As the spread of the coronavirus has evolved, our continued focus has been on the health and safety of our employees and our customers. Main Office: Our main office at 54 Sawyer Ave is currently open to the public at normal operating hours. Please check back often as this may change. Tenants and Rental Applicants: If we do need to schedule maintenance, our team may ask you questions such as whether or not you have tested positive for COVID-19, have been asked to voluntarily quarantine yourself or if you or anyone in your home is ill or has been within the last 14 days . We ask you to answer these questions honestly, so that employees can take the appropriate steps to protect themselves from infection if a home visit is required. We have also developed a new Virtual Resident Center where you can make payments, submit requests, or apply online. If you have any questions or concerns regarding rentals, feel free to contact us at 603-362-5333 or email rentals@lewisbuilders.com .
