One-bed units are approximately 900 square ft, two-beds 1,100 square ft, and townhome units are 1,500 square ft. The varying types of units, garden and townhouse, have different requirements and challenges. They are both part of the same condominium association, with equal rights; it is far more efficient and less expensive to have a single Board of Directors manage the buildings, maintenance, and common areas.

When Cross Fox was converted to condominiums, many improvements and renovations were made to the units. However, two major items could not be changed without massive, and very expensive, modifications:
When Cross Fox was converted to condominiums, many improvements and renovations were made to the units. However, two major items could not be changed without massive, and very expensive, modifications:
- Common gas lines, meaning there is one major gas line entering each building, and unit gas is tapped from the main line
- Common water, which also works by tapping into the main line
There is no individual billing for water or gas usage, which means the entire amount is divided among unit owners and added to the monthly condominium assessment. Each unit owner has the responsibility to ensure that water and gas is conserved, which means checking plumbing for leaks, keeping showers short, and limiting car washing.
Unit Owner Responsibilities
Unit owner responsibilities include the maintenance and repair of the interior, such as plumbing and electrical fixtures, heating and air conditioning equipment, and appliances.
