Falling between single-family homes and condominiums, townhomes are multi-level residences connected to other units with communal walls. They’re an increasingly popular choice for those buying their first home or looking to downgrade once the kids have flown the coop. Here’s a closer look at the major benefits these homes provide.

Why You Should Live in a Townhouse

1. Less Upkeep

Townhomes require less maintenance than full-sized properties. Aside from having a smaller yard to maintain, you’ll save considerable time and money with a homeowners association (HOA) in charge of your landscaping. Instead, fees and dues go toward exterior repairs, common areas, and garbage removal for a neighborhood that always looks pristine.

2. More Ownership

Unlike condos, you also have more creative freedom with your home’s appearance. When you purchase a townhouse, you have full ownership of the interior and exterior. While you might have to follow specific guidelines mandated by your HOA, you’ll be able to work together to increase your curb appeal.

3. Lower Costs

If you’re shopping for homes on a budget, townhouses are a great investment. Because of their shared walls and smaller square footage, townhomes cost less than single-family homes. While you have to pay a mortgage, utilities, and HOA fees, you won’t have to worry about expensive maintenance costs. These homes are often equipped with appealing amenities like decorative upgrades, new appliances, and hardwood flooring upon move-in.

4. Sense of Community

Your lifestyle could also benefit from living in a townhouse community. They’re often located in developments that have access to common areas like a playground, dog park, or recreation center. These communities are also more likely to coordinate weekly or monthly gatherings for neighbors to get to know one another.
