These services are paid by association dues that are the responsibility of the homeowners living in condos. If you’ve been renting and are now looking for a home, or if you’re ready for an easier lifestyle after maintaining a single-family home, St. Paul condos are the perfect choice.

As you explore condos in St. Paul, make sure to evaluate the monthly association fee in every building to see what is included. Some St. Paul condominium buildings feature amenities such as a pool, party room or other community space, and it’s important to know what your condo association fee covers. It’s also a good idea to look at the association’s financial documents. The organization should have a good amount of money in reserve in case of costly repairs or renovations. For example, you wouldn’t want to be assessed a fee to help cover the cost of a new roof.
