I don't want a walk-in closet. What I find more useful is to have a large storage closet/pantry for things like groceries, mops etc. I had one in the apartment condo that I lived in for more than 20 years, but at first it wasn't that useful because it was long and narrow with a narrow door at one end. We remodelled it to have a large door in the center, shelves from floor to ceiling either end, and hooks for hanging things in the middle. Then we remodelled the kitchen to make it more useable... and then moved out not long after that.
That place was on the ground floor - actually about 18" below ground. I designed a set of removable steps leading up to the patio door and my husband built them. I actually kind of miss the place, although the condo board drove me up the wall at times and I wanted more space to garden. One advantage of a ground floor condo is that you often have a little space to put a few flowers in if you are inclined that way.
