Home Buyers + Townhomes = The Perfect Match

First-time home buyers often have idyllic dreams of their first home: cute cottage with a picket fence, a garage and a yard. This sounds like a dream and it might be! Single-family (or detached) homes are not always in a price point that is accessible for a first-time home buyer.

A more financially-attainable option is a townhome. Townhomes are typically 3-6 homes with shared walls (or attached). Inside, the townhome looks like most other homes and are often a similar size to detached homes. Townhomes are excellent options for new homeowners. Why?

Price

Townhomes are typically less expensive than single-family homes in most neighborhoods. If the single-family homes in your ideal neighborhood are priced above your budget, look at a townhome instead and you won’t sacrifice on location.

Outdoor Space

Many townhomes offer small yards or private outdoor patios so you still have a sense of space and privacy. Also, townhome communities often have common areas, which may include a dog park or walking trails, which add to your outdoor experience.  

Less Responsibility

Townhomes usually have a HOA (home owners association) to cover “common” or shared areas and features. There is a monthly HOA fee, but it likely covers landscaping, community amenities (such as that dog park or a pool) and roof replacement on your townhome. This will save you time and money in the long run.
