On another note, you often hear chatter about how developers aren't building "family-friendly" apartments/condos. Look at this:

Sure, it's 4 bedrooms and a good amount of square footage. But, anyone who can afford $1.4M can likely stretch for a detached house or at worst, a duplex, with no strata fees and only 1 shared wall. |
Yah I don't get huge condos at all... it makes zero financial sense to me to spend what you'd spend on detached and then also have a $500+ bill each month for the rest of time on top of it all.
That said, my gf's parents live in a 2+den and they're happy to pay for it because they sold a rancher to move into it, neither of them could do the gardening or outside stuff anymore.
I probably honestly would have still stayed in the house and just hired people to do that stuff, but that's just me. They have some friends in the same building and look at it that way... to each their own I guess!
