Some people prefer the quiet life, and to be surrounded by trees or prairies. They do not mind that their nearest neighbor might be driving-distance away, or that going into town requires a fair amount of planning and time. These people are not condo dwellers. No, most condo residents enjoy the urban lifestyle and close proximity to people. They appreciate what the city has to offer, and want to be close to such amenities. One reason so many people enjoy the city-condo life: proximity to entertainment.
In many urban areas in which condos are found, entertainment options abound. Following are some examples:
1. Sporting events. Depending on the city, there may be any number of professional teams, including those that play baseball, basketball, football and hockey. Tickets to such events may be hot commodities, especially when the teams are winning. And in some cities, sporting events are popular gathering spots, even for people who are not necessarily into the game.
2. Restaurants. Cities typically have no shortage of restaurants. For many condo dwellers, there are multiple eating options within walking distance of home. In all likelihood, you can find everything from hamburgers to top-of-the-line steak, fish sandwiches to sushi, all within a few blocks. You could have a traditional American meal one night, a Chinese meal the next, and a Thai meal the next. If you are a fan of food, it can be quite the experience.
3. Arts. Cities tend to be very cultural places, and it does not get any more cultural than the arts. The arts options abound, from plays and musicals, to museums and art galleries. Or maybe you like the opera, or the symphony, or a band that plays a little rock and roll. The options are nearly limitless.
4. Parks and trails. Many cities have done a good job of incorporating green space into their development plans. While these areas may not be large, they generally offer city dwellers the opportunity to be surrounded by natural elements. They are great for picnics or playing a game of football, and, if they are big enough, for biking, hiking or walking.
5. Bars and clubs. If you enjoy the nightlife, you likely will find no shortage of it around urban condos. From sports bars to dance halls to clubs that serve high-end wines and champagne, you likely will be able to find a night spot that suits your style. Watch the calendars at bars and clubs, as they often bring in bands or other musical acts from time to time.
6. Comedy. Every city has a comedy club or two. If you have never been to a standup comedy show, it can be an enjoyable way to spend an evening.
