Another article from The Guardian last week told of the plight of a retired man who bought a Florida condo last November - and who now finds himself the only resident in the building. Victor Vangelakos's situation might not be so bad if the residence in question was a small build, but he in fact lives in a 32 storey building containing 200 units. It must get a little lonely.
Purchasers for other condo units in the building did exist, but either pulled out or failed to get a mortgage. Some others have also been moved to a less fancy building next door which Vangelakos tried to do as well, but was prevented by his mortgage lender.
So he and his family now find themselves all alone in the building. The plus side is that they have sole use of the pool, gym and clubhouse.
Rather creepily, however, they admit to hearing strange noises at night sometimes and once "someone pounded on their door at 11pm".

Before buying there are factors that one should consider. Some condo buyers consider checking their neighbors as one of the factors in buying a condo.
