Second option. My apartment is in an apartment complex - so I guess what you’d call a high rise unit (one of those places with pool, gym, etc. for the residents). I was renting it while living there permanently but when I bought the house I was made an offer to buy it out (they calculated the price based on the amount of rent paid, property value, etc.) and I chose to take the offer so I also still have that apartment and use it quite often when I have work until late at night in the city and stuff.
well. you are living my dream. downtown condo with like a nice weekend getaway on a nice wooded rural area would be my dream. I degress though. Im a city boy. I like walking, and biking, and transit, and hate cars. I like having many options close to where I am at. I also like the little close community you get. Like my neighbor and I bring up each others packages when we are returning from some place so its right at the door. I also like the security like that. Everyone moves packages inside when they come even if they don't move them further (unless to heavy :) Then also like if I go on vacation I worry less with my condo. Someone would have to break into the complex to then break into my place and would likely draw my neighbors attention if they take to much time or are using something that makes a lot of noise. When I was in a house leaving it for a week could guarantee a break in as it was easy as busting a window. That being said I do totally miss having a nice garden. I can grow things on the balcony but its more work for less. Could literally throw seeds down in spring and get stuff to harvest in fall. I mean theoretically. I put in some work and did prep the space more and water and stuff but im sure I could have been that lazy and get more than I can from a balcony. The reason the balcony is more work is largely watering. With containers you have to water more often and can't over water. With a garden you put in a sprinkler and turn the tap after the sun goes down in the evening and you don't want to do to little but if you over do it, as long as its not to much, its fine.
