Last night I casually asked the Twittersphere what the most important condo amenity is, besides a gym. 

That tweet got quite a few responses – everything from rock climbing to a proper facility for realtor lock boxes.

Given the response, I thought it would be worthwhile to be a bit more rigorous in this analysis. So I have created an online survey that you can very quickly fill out by clicking here. 

Here’s how this is going to work:

- You have to enter your email address. Sorry, some friction. I figured that would make the data a bit more reliable. Don’t worry your email is safe.

- You can select a maximum of 3 amenities. One of them can be “Other”, in which case you would then enter in an amenity not already found on the list.

- The order of the amenities in the survey is being randomized so as to avoid any possible it’s-near-the-top-and-I’m-too-lazy-to-scroll bias.

- You’ll be able to see the results of the survey after you’ve responded. I’ll also post the results to this blog so that it’s public and people learn things. Individual emails will, of course, never be published.

Developers should be building what people actually want and will use. Now is your chance to tell us what that is. Click here for the survey.
