Selection of a condominium home involves several important factors.

Congress Square I offers many advantages to today's condominium buyer including:

Our maintenance fee structure provides reserve funding, landscaping, snow removal, insurance coverage and maintenance of the common areas, as well as refurbishing and replacement programs for concrete, roofing, and building surfaces.  Unlike certain other condominiums, these services have been provided for the owners in past years without the need to collect special assessments for the costs of these items.  Monthly maintenance fees have been stable, with modest adjustments in response to inflation. 

Our convenient location is within minutes of shopping and cultural facilities.  Transportation to other areas of town is easily available due to our close location to RTA bus and rapid stations as well as I-480, I-71 and the Ohio Turnpike.  In addition, the beauty and recreation provided by the Metroparks system is close by. 

An investment in a community of homeowners is enhanced by a restriction on leasing.  Homes must be owner-occupied and new purchasers must plan on moving into the unit immediately after title transfer.  

The City of Middleburg Heights provides us with a vast array of services including street lighting, rubbish removal, police and fire protection, while collecting one of the lowest rates taxation in the county.

Educational opportunities are provided by the Berea City Schools, which have received numerous awards for excellence in education. Parochial schools are also close by.  Advanced education and cultural events are also conveniently accessible through the facilities of Baldwin-Wallace and Cuyahoga Community Colleges.

About Condominium Ownership

A condominium is a form of property ownership where the homeowner owns an undivided percentage of the Common Areas and Facilities such as the structure, lawns, landscaping and driveways, as well as a living Unit.  The Unit consists of the space bounded by the undecorated interior surfaces, the decorating materials applied to these surfaces (such as paint, wallpaper and carpet), built-in and installed fixtures (such as cupboards, appliances, air conditioning equipment and utility systems) as well as the space occupied by any Common Areas and Facilities within a Unit (such as structural components).  Condominiums also have property known as Limited Common Areas and Facilities which are owned by all homeowners, but whose use and maintenance is exclusively granted to a particular Unit owner.  These Limited Common Areas and Facilities, in part, consist of interior walls, windows and screens, ducts, plumbing and utility service lines, patios, exterior and garage doors and other Common Areas and Facilities that are associated with a Unit that serve a single Unit. 

Association Operations

All homeowners are automatically members of the Unit Owners Association and are required to pay a monthly maintenance fee to cover the cost of the operation of the association and maintenance of the Common Areas and Facilities.  The Association is governed by a Board of Managers who administer association operations as outlined by the Declarations of Condominium Ownership, By-laws, and Rules and Regulations.  All homeowners are required to comply with the provisions of these documents.  Some of the provisions of the governing documents include restrictions on the use and/or alteration of the buildings or other Common Areas and Facilities and Limited Common Areas and Facilities.
