There are certain benefits and disadvantages, from a security standpoint, to living in a condominium or an apartment.

In a complex of any size, management often takes on the responsibility of providing security, at least in general. They will sometimes hire private guards. But even when they don’t, in the majority of cases they take some efforts to see that the grounds are secure. That helps them, of course, since a secure environment makes the complex a more desirable place to live.
