A growing number of families are considering condos over single-detached homes, due to rising housing prices in certain Canadian markets. Developers are responding to the growing demand by building family-friendly condominiums. So what constitutes as a family-friendly condo?

Number one: appeal to parents with young children. Builders make bedrooms smaller and increase family living space and closet sizes (where do they keep those seasonal jackets, sports equipment, and musical instruments?). They create family-centric amenities like indoor play rooms, splash pads, or daycare centres on site.

And families need neighbourhoods. They need parks, playgrounds, and streets they can walk. Services like dentists, doctors, transit, and schools are strong magnets for families to buy.
