An interesting article from the Globe and Mail, published a couple weeks ago, suggests women – and particularly single women in their twenties – are shopping for condos more and more. Even in married couples, it’s the ladies’ sense of taste that usually wins over when it comes to choosing a property (which means foosball in the living room’s probably not going to cut it). Condo developers are responding by putting a greater focus on security, lighting, and in-suite storage.

This shouldn’t really be a surprise to anyone: there’s a reason ‘man caves’ are usually in the basement or the garage, out of sight. We (men) often just can’t differentiate between a feature or styling choice that’s awesome on its own and one that actually works in a space. We know it, and we embrace it.

What would you look for in an apartment-style condo, and what would be a deal breaker? Is the Globe’s article on the money? Respond in the comments below.
