TOWNHOMES

Townhomes for Sale & Lease in South Florida

townhome (townhouse) is a multi-floor home that shares one or two walls with adjacent properties but has its own private entrance and, often, a small yard or patio. Townhomes provide a balance between a condo and a single-family home, offering more space and privacy than a condo but with less maintenance than a detached home.

Key Features of a Townhome:
 Ownership: Unlike condos, townhome owners typically own both the interior and exterior of the home, including the land it sits on.
 Shared Walls: Townhomes are attached to neighboring homes but have private front and back entrances.
 Multi-Level Living: Most townhomes are two or three stories, offering spacious layouts with separate living and sleeping areas.
 Low Maintenance: While townhomes provide more independence than condos, they may still have Homeowners Association (HOA) fees for shared amenities and exterior maintenance.
 Community Living: Many townhome communities feature gated access, pools, fitness centers, parks, and walking trails.

Who Should Consider a Townhome? 
 First-Time Homebuyers: Townhomes offer a more affordable entry into homeownership compared to single-family homes.
 Busy Professionals: With low-maintenance exteriors and community amenities, townhomes are ideal for those with active lifestyles.
 Families: Multi-floor layouts provide separation of space for privacy and growing families.
 Investors: Many townhomes make great rental properties due to their affordability and demand in urban areas.
