Back to the original subject of this thread, condo living close to neighbors:
Whether you will live next to angels or devils in your beach area condo is absolutely crucial to whether you will be happy there or not. So…go and meet them. Put on your happy face, knock on their door, tell them you are considering the next door unit, and ask them questions about the complex, the neighborhood, dogs, the HOA, parking, party problems, vacation rentals, etc. You will get far more useful information than from your broker. Of course, all the time you are carefully evaluating THEM, and gaining valuable information about your likely future neighbors.
