Choosing a New Home - Lifestyle Matters

LIfestyle needs are an important factor in choosing a new home. Creve Coeur area condo for sale for just $89,900 is perfect for an owner wanting an active lifestyle.

When you are ready to take the step of buying your first (or next) home, there is a lot to consider. 

You'll need to decide how much you can afford and which features you really want in a home. You'll need to decide if you want something that is move-in ready, meaning that you won't have to make any decor changes or repairs other than a little paint, or if you are willing to buy a fixer-upper in order to buy a cheaper home. 

All of these decisions are important.

But location is important too. 

Location means more than picking a municipality, zip code or school district. Location also means choosing a home that makes it easy for you to live the lifestyle you want. Every day.

If you want to take long walks without having to drive to a park, then you need to avoid the 2 street subdivision off the busy boulevard. Instead, you should be looking for a home in a large subdivision or one that leads you to a street with sidewalks that will be an enjoyable walk. 

If you want to walk your kids to school, then you need to be within a few blocks of the elementary school. 

If you want to spend your weekends with family, friends or on your favorite hobby, rather than mowing the yard every weekend, then you should consider a condo rather than a house. 

Live an Active Lifestyle: 1438 Willow Brook Cove #6

Queen Anne Condos in the Creve Coeur area is a great place to live if you are looking for an active lifestyle that lets you spend your time on things you want to do rather than on maintaining a yard and house. 

With a condo, you don't have to clean the gutters. You don't have to fix the roof leak. You don't have to spend every weekend mowing the yard. 

In 2008, this condo was renovated top to bottom. It has everything buyers want in a condo today.

It has an open floor plan with easy-care laminate wood flooring in the kitchen and dining area. It has a laundry closet with a washer and dryer just a few feet from the bedrooms. It has a master suite with a dressing area, large walk-in closet and a private master bath. It even has a covered deck that offers a view of trees and grass rather than looking at bunch of other condos or a street. 

But most importantly, this condo offers something else that is just as important but isn't actually inside the unit. 

It offers an active lifestyle. Queen Anne Condos has a community pool with plenty of tables and chairs for you to enjoy the summers. It is also located one block from the JCC's new state of the art fitness and community center. 

If you hit the gym almost every day (or you wish you did!), living at 1438 Willow Brook Cove means your warm up & cool down could be a short walk or jog to the gym! Rather than joining just a gym with workout equipment, you can diversify your exercise by adding racquetball, lap swimming and basketball. 

Lifestyle matters. 

And it can be all yours for just $89,900.
