Townhouses

Quick start guide

Definition:

A Townhouse is a type of multi-story home that shares one or more walls with adjacent properties but has its own private entrance and often includes a small front or back yard. Townhouses offer more space and privacy than condos but less maintenance than single-family homes, making them popular in urban and suburban settings.

🔍 Did You Know?
Townhouses are often part of a homeowners association (HOA), which maintains common areas and may enforce rules regarding property upkeep and exterior appearance.

Examples:

Example 1:
A family purchases a three-story townhouse in a gated community with shared amenities like a pool and playground. They enjoy the privacy of a single-family home while sharing walls with their neighbors.

Example 2:
A real estate investor buys a row of townhouses in a newly developed area and rents them out to young professionals, generating steady rental income.

Why It’s Important:

Townhouses provide a balance between affordability, space, and maintenance responsibilities, making them a popular choice for families, first-time buyers, and urban professionals.

Who Should Care:

  • Homebuyers looking for more space than a condo but less maintenance than a single-family home.
  • Real estate investors interested in low-maintenance rental properties.
  • Developers building in urban or suburban areas with high demand for housing.
