Family Wants Out of Living Alone in 32-Story Condo

It sounds like a dream-come-true: having a huge 32-story condo building in Florida all to yourself.

But for one man and his family, that situation has turned into a real-life nightmare.

Victor Vangelakos, 45, recently bought a condominium for $430,000 in the 32-story Oasis I building in Fort Myers, Fla., according to The News-Press.

Vangelakos, a firefighter from Weehawken, N.J., uses it as a vacation residence with his wife and three children.

But eerily, he doesn't have any neighbors. With the real estate collapse that began in 2006, potential buyers steered clear or transferred down payments to units in the Oasis II next door.

Vangelakos wasn't able to do that because his lender wouldn't allow a swap, according to the paper.

So he and his family are stuck in the lonely building, where the silence is unsettling and intruders are frequent. The swimming pool is often raided at night.
