You’ve worked hard all your life, retirement is your reward, and there’s no more cold weather for you. So, reward yourself when homebuying with carefree condominium and townhome living, where all you have to do is put on your sandals and enjoy the beautiful weather. Where else can you live in a place called paradise that’s low maintenance and someone else mows your grass, trims your bushes and makes sure the pool is crystal clear? When you pay an HOA fee, you can just lock the doors at the end of season and turn over the keys to management without a care in the world. Check out these five snowbird residences for a glimpse at free and easy retirement living.
