Local notes: South Pasadena
A small city near the beaches where condos, including many 55+ buildings, make up a large share of homes.
Condos are a big part of the South Pasadena market. Florida's post-Surfside condo safety laws require milestone structural inspections and fully funded structural reserves for many buildings. Review the association's reserve study, milestone reports and any special assessments before you buy or list.
