Condos can be harder / more expensive to get financing on. Loan level pricing adjustments, HUD approved lists, budget approval.
I'd never live in a PUD or condo.
HOA dues can go to a yard company if you own a SFR. Also owning a condo doesn't exclude you from needing to do upkeep on your "house". Doesn't matter if it's attached or detached, a roof isn't going to pay for itself.
You'd need to review the covenants, conditions and restrictions before buying to know what the associate does, and does not, pay for. Many people make incorrect assumptions about what is covered that actually leaves them under insured in the event of a loss.
