Here at Find Jamaica Plain Condos, we’re generally pretty content with the condos in our neck of the woods. Heck, we think JP has some of the best condos in the Boston area. Sometimes, though, we can’t help but yearn for what this reader has: a condo along the seaside! Go ahead, read and imagine:
“I had always dreamed of owning a vacation home by the sea. As soon as my family could afford half the amount, we took out a loan to purchase a beach-side condo. As part of a major complex consisting of 22 building units, we have a lot of friendly neighbors who are always ready to lend a helping hand. Each unit has 4 apartments with a joint terrace at the top. Our bright and spacious condo is on the top floor, with an unobstructed view of the beach and the sea. It has two bedrooms: a larger master bedroom and a smaller spare room. Both bedrooms have attached baths, walk in wardrobes, and queen sized double beds. We had to purchase our own furnishings and fittings, but this is something we preferred to do anyway. The kitchen is fully equipped for gourmet cooking. The stove is electric. In addition, each unit comes with an outdoor grill. The complex itself is beautifully landscaped, with plenty of garden area, park benches, a small play area for children, and a path for joggers and skaters. There’s a clubhouse with table tennis and pool tables, a common swimming pool, gym, and even a library.
We were fortunate that an old school friend who was leaving the country mentioned her condo to us, which is when we set about raising the money to purchase it from her. I prefer this condo to all my previous accommodations—it’s not as secluded as a house and yet not as crowded as a normal apartment in a building or a dormitory. Truly, in effect, a dream home.”
