| Grand Harbour Condominiums, Vermilion, Ohio |
When considering condominium living along Ohio's islands, rivers and shores there are certain factors you should consider.
- Drive Time: Will you need to commute from work on a regular basis? How close are the highways? Airports?
- Example: My wife and I can leave on the last ferry Friday evening and enjoy the weekend in our lakefront island condo. Sunday evening we catch the last ferry off the island and are able to be at work Monday morning.
- Weekend or Primary Residence: You probably have very different needs based on which type of residence you are searching for. You need less storage space, interior garage space is less important and more steps may be less of an issue if you are only using it on an occasional basis.
- Dock/Marina: If you are a boater or think you may be in the future then proximity to marinas or the availability of a dock within the development may be important. You need an agent that knows the area.
- Association Fees/Recreational Fees: What are they and what do they cover? How much they are and what they cover will play a direct role in what may buyers can afford.
- Rental Options: Do you want or need to rent out the unit to help cover expenses? Many buildings do not allow renting the unit or only allow an annual lease.
- Utilities: Are any of the utility expenses covered by the association dues? What is covered and what are the averages of any remaining utilities. What is available? Internet, cable, satellite?
At the time I'm writing this there are 139 Lake Erie waterfront condominiums listed in NEOHREX, Ohio's largest multiple listing service, and 109 in the smaller Firelands MLS. Some of these are duplicates, but that still leaves a wide variety of buildings, locations, and prices.
