Advantages of Townhouse Living

A big reason to choose a townhouse is living space. Many townhouses feature high ceilings or vaulted ceilings, more bedrooms and bathrooms, a large living room and dining room plus a single garage or double garage, balcony and fenced yard. Home owners enjoy BBQ in the balcony and building a garden in the yard. 

 

Multi level floor plan

With multi-level floor plan designs, the layouts of townhouses differ from apartments. The main level of a townhouse offers a large living room, dining room, kitchen and powder room. Upper level features a master bedroom with ensuite and 2 to 3 good sized bedrooms and bathrooms. The basement contains a garage and is attached by a frontyard or backyard. Family can perform daily activities in different zones.  

 

Storage

There are more closets and kitchen cabinets.  Homeowners find it easier to organize things in townhouses and build a storage in the garage or fenced yard.

 

Parking facilities

Townhouses offer varied parking options: single garage, side by side garage, tandem garage (2 cars parked end-to-end), 3-cars garage, carport and open parking. The newer townhouses have tandem garage or side by side garage. Selected townhouses offer 3-cars garage.

 

Fewer neighbors

Fewer residents in a townhouse community than in a condo/apartment building.  There’ll be less traffic and noises and more quiet time. 

 

Yard activities

The yard or patio attached to the townhouse allows homeowners to enjoy activities such as barbecue, swings, sandboxes, inflatable pool, summer reading nook and gardening. 

 

Amenities

Some townhouse communities feature a club house with party room, fitness room, swimming pool, sauna and whirl pool. These amenities are attractive to families who enjoy active lifestyle.

 

Proximity to transit and schools

Most townhouse communities are near public transit. Residents can walk to the parks, schools, groceries and recreation centre.

 

Maintenance

Townhouse communities hire management company to look after common area repair, maintenance, gardening and snow removal. It gives owners a perfect solution to spend long weekends and vacations.
