Downsize Into a Philly Condo
I know it is not easy. You are coming from an oversized 5 bedroom home in suburbia, and you are looking to moving into a 1000-1500 sq. ft two bedroom condo Right?! Join the crowd. Somewhere out there in cyber space, I am sure there is an online support group for such grappling predicaments, and those caught in such a web of anguish and utter confusion.
Fitting your furniture to the size of your new living arrangements seems to cause most new condo buyers a great deal of stress. Deciding which pieces of furniture to hold on to is often determined by the size, age, condition, style, and guilt, or obligation associated with that particular piece of furniture. Many American living rooms are dotted with the odd Art Deco end table conveyed to you by a distant aunt's last will and testament. Not every piece can come with you. Some of those old relics you currently call furniture will have to be sold, pawned off onto offspring, given to charity, or simply come face to face with the broad side of an axe. The first things to generally go are items referred to as armoires, hutches, side tables, buffets, and oversized coffee tables- especially those the size of say a station wagon. As well as the notion of multiple couches, strewn about your current living quarters like a tornado through a corn field.
And most newly christened urban condo residents can kiss their accumulated collections of old brooms, mops, snow shovels, ironing boards, lawnmowers, hand tools, and trash cans goodbye. And that dress that you bought, that you really never liked, and just didn't feel comfortable wearing? See ya. Such commodities are excess baggage in the move into a smaller space in town. You will be starting fresh. A true adjustment, but such a move is a quick, sure fire way to lose thousands of pounds of ugly fat. The feeling of such divulgence is a much unanticipated, yet joyous occasion.
Being able to walk to and fro will be one of the biggest changes you will encounter when moving into your new center city condo. You will buy and love your Granny grocery cart, which you will wheel behind you. It may become one of your favorite new possessions. The idea of downsizing to one car (maximum) is always a plus in life. Less cars equals less insurance, less upkeep costs, less pollution, and one less thing in life to worry about. And it sure feels great to getout and stretch your legs here in Center City Philadelphia. When you give something up, you usually get something in return, and in this case you just may end up getting a little more exercise.
Think about what you need to give up in order to move into an urban condominium, and downsizing not only your living arrangements, but your life as well. I know the move may be painful, but it can also be a fresh new start to the rest of your life.
