If you’re planning on a move to Tucson, AZ, many would agree you’ve picked one of the best cities in the country. Tucson will not only keep you warm all year round, it will provide you with plenty to do—whether that means in the great outdoors or in downtown. If you plan on purchasing a condo or townhouse, though, you should consider the following before you buy.

Just as all the townhouses for sale in Tucson, AZ will be different, so too will their Homeowner’s Associations. Look into a specific HOA before every considering any condos for sale. Tucson Homeowner’s Associations could regulate everything from the color you paint your new home to how long your grass is.

Townhomes and condos typically share walls with their neighbors. You’ll want to get an idea for the privacy you can expect before you sign any papers. The last thing you want to do is spend your first night finding out you can hear your neighbor’s music crystal clear.

Everyone should always have homeowners insurance, but when it comes to a townhome or condo, you’ll have to ask who’s in charge of securing it. Sometimes it will be the HOA, other times it will be you. Make sure you find out, so you can take those fees into consideration.
