The condo house

"Every condominium, any condominium, it's a lifestyle choice," says Josh Nelson, who specializes in condos for Ripco Real Estate in Calgary. "It's wanting certain things done for you. That'll go anywhere across the country." But what if you could have a house with the services of a condo? Which brings us back to Rosedale. The $5.5-million home is a blend of condominium and freehold house. As an optional feature, the purchaser can have all the perks of condo living -- landscaping, maintenance, even a concierge -- while owning the home outright.
