No, it\u2019s not stress related \u2014 although the mortgage on a detached house can be a killer \u2014 but rather lifestyle oriented.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here are the reasons condo owners tend to be fitter :<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2022 Demographically, they are younger.<br \/>\n\u2022 Socially active : people who live in condos statistically go \u201cout\u201d more. The act of going out, and any activity, is healthy (all things being equal: in other words, assuming you don\u2019t binge eat or drink).<br \/>\n\u2022 Condo communities usually have fitness facilities. Fitness equipment in a detached home is usually an expensive luxury. In a condo, today, newer communities, such as Ten York (currently under construction from Tridel) feature elaborate exercise facilities and even a spa.<br \/>\n\u2022 Condo owners tend to use the gym more often due to proximity : walk to the gym downstairs versus a trip by car. It is also more comfortable since you can change and shower in your own home.<br \/>\n\u2022 Condos often include swimming pools, one of the healthiest activities.<br \/>\n\u2022 Condo owners tend to walk more and bicycle more : one of the key reasons to own a condo is to be \u201cclose\u201d to work and play so that it\u2019s easy to walk to the store, the restaurant or the subway stop. The activity of walking and bicycling is ideal for fitness for all ages.<br \/>\n\u2022 Condo owners tend to be less stressed : with smaller mortgages (all things being equal) there is often less financial worry.<br \/>\n\u2022 Condo owners (depending on location) tend to be able to walk, bicycle or use transit to work. Commute times are shorter, on average, which lowers stress.<br \/>\n\u2022 Condo owners with families often find substantial time saved in taking the kids to local soccer, hockey or other activities. Condos tend to be located closer to these activities.<br \/>\n\u2022 Condo owners tend to be less stressed : with smaller mortgages (all things being equal) there is often less financial worry.<br \/>\n\u2022 Condo owners (depending on location) tend to be able to walk, bicycle or use transit to work.
