Would you buy a condominium/house/townhouse or rent an apartment in a "kendo community" ?

NO.

Ok, it's an idea that would NEVER fly. You don't say!

But wouldn't it be great - to live in a complex/neighborhood/whatever where there was an early morning keiko before work 5-7 days a week, evening keiko 5-7 days a week, and visiting sensei and events on weekends and such? A shared dojo space so you could go work on suburi without worrying about your feet on concrete or carpet, or tearing up your ceilings? Living around a lot of people who weren't necessarily totally obsessed with kendo, but where everyone saw enough value to move to a place where it was a selling point in the community? Like the golf communities ? A place where you didn't *have* to practice every day if you didn't want to, but where any day you wanted, if you felt like it, you could?

Yea, I think Kendo isn't popular enough in a dense enough area to make it economically viable, but even if it was, some form of the ugly head of politics would kill it anyways. But what a fantasy ! What fantasy! NOT
