Townhouse Vs Single family home

 

Location, location, location 

Close proximity to everything is one of the advantages of townhouse living versus single family homes. Most townhouse communities in Richmond are within walking distance to public transit, elementary and secondary schools, parks, community centres and shopping malls.

More options

Many townhouse communities offer a range of models at different price.  The townhouses that vary in size, layout, number of parkings and exposure of yards provide more options for buyers.

Save time for maintenance

Townhouse living usually includes a management team to look after the exterior maintenance, landscape service and snow removal. It gives owners a perfect solution to spend long weekends and vacations out of town.

Amenities

Many townhouse communities include amenities such as courtyard, playground, clubhouse, gym and swimming pool. These amenities can be attractive to families with children and adults who enjoy active living.
