Pros:
Security + facilities (gym, pool, BBQ pit — all included)
Lock-and-leave convenience (good for busy lifestyles)
Usually closer to city hotspots
Cons:
Monthly maintenance fees 💸
Smaller space, less privacy

Pros:
More space for family, pets, or gardening 🌱
Freedom to extend/renovate
No monthly maintenance fees (except gated communities)

Security depends on the neighbourhood
Higher upfront cost in prime locations
Young professionals / investors → Condo might suit your lifestyle better (location + facilities).
Families / long-term stayers → Landed gives more space and flexibility.
Best of both worlds? → Some people start with a condo, then upgrade to landed later.
✨ At the end of the day, the “better” option depends on YOU — your lifestyle, budget, and long-term goals.
