The ghosts aren’t scary.

Neither are the skeletons, witches or enormous inflatable spiders appearing in Minnesota yards this month.

You know what’s scary?

Leaving your house for three months in January and wondering what’s happening back home.

Did the furnace quit?

How much snow is sitting in the driveway?

Did a pipe freeze?

Did that enormous branch finally come down?

For Minnesota snowbirds, heading south for the winter should feel like freedom. But owning a house can make leaving it feel like another responsibility.

At Hill Farm Condominiums in North Oaks, maintenance-free living means fewer of those worries follow you south.

Lock the door. Grab your suitcase. Head somewhere warm.

The skeletons can stay in Minnesota.
