Buying in Acadia: what to check
Most homes in Acadia are 45 years old or more. Ask about the roof, windows, furnace, electrical and plumbing, and get a home inspection.
Many condos here are in older low-rise buildings. Review the reserve fund study, board minutes and fee history, and ask about planned repairs.
If you're thinking about renovating or rebuilding, check the zoning and lot size with the City before you firm up.
Who Acadia suits
