Hello and welcome to my web site that I hope you will find useful and informative. As we all approach the stage when stairs become our enemy or our current home is too large or maybe we want to be closer to our Kids or Grandchildren and it’s important to have an idea of what type of homes are available to you.
Typically a Condo becomes important- after all who wants to continue cutting the grass or shoveling snow if you don’t have to?? At this point in life, most people prefer not to have to worry about cutting the grass, shovelling snow or maintenance responsibilities and a Condo can offer all of that and more.
 
There comes time when we’ll have to make a decision to downsize- whether it’s because your current home is too large or it's very difficult to climb stairs and you need everything all on one floor (main floor living). There are 4 segments of Condos to choose from when if you're planning to downsize and I've provided a brief description of segment below

Condo Bungalows/Bungalofts
 
I’ve found that many of my clients who are downsizing prefer a Condo set up rather than Freehold for the simple reason that they don’t have to worry about cutting grass or shoveling snow or any other maintenance/upkeep tasks which you have to do when you own a freehold home. When thinking about a condo, many of us think about Condo apartment and while we’ve become very familiar with that concept in the GTA over the past 25 years, there’s a wonderful alternative known as Condo Bungalows which provides all of the benefits of a Condo apartment without having to deal with underground parking and elevators or paying for amenities that most of us never really use.
 
Condo Bungalows offer more living space compared to a Condo plus there’s usually a basement which provides room for storage (that may not always be a good thing). Many of the Condo Bungalows are located in small, safe, well maintained complexes which is ideal for those who prefer the “lock and go” lifestyle.
 
Unfortunately there's not enough Condo Bungalows for sale compared to Condo apartments and so when a Condo Bungalow is listed for sale, they tend to sell quickly which means a Buyer has to react fairly quickly both in terms of viewing a property and then deciding whether to submit an offer
 
I have a particular focus on the Condo Bungalow segment and I’ve listed provided a brief overview of each complex in Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, Hamilton (Ancaster) and Orangeville which I hope you'll find helpful.


If you're planning to downsize, it’s never too soon to start thinking about where you’d like to move to and how much living space you'll need- plus you'll likely have many things to donate, sell or throw out!
 
Low Rise (Boutique) Condo
 
A low rise Condo may be another format for consideration when planning to downsize. A Low rise or Boutique Condo can be defined by a maximum number of units or floors in the building and typically they offer a more intimate setting with less amenities compared to Hi Rise Condo towers. The other benefit is shorter wait times for the elevator and lower maintenance fees.
 
Hi Rise Condo 
 
There are many Hi Rise buildings in Mississauga to chose from however I’ve selected several buildings that are geared more towards a senior clientele in terms of services offered and residents that live there. Each of these buildings offer 24 hr concierge, scheduled activities
 
 
Condo Townhome (with elevator)
 
A final option to consider may be to purchase a traditional multi level Condo townhome that offers an ensuite elevator. There are a several Condo Townhome complexes in Mississauga with townhomes that have their own private elevator. Each of these buildings offer 24 hr concierge, scheduled activities
