sp_115 | What are the benefits/drawbacks to owning a townhome? |
i'm looking to buy a new home after mine sells, but, i can get a lot more bang for my buck (space, amenities) if i buy a townhome versus a single family residence. anyone who has lived or currently lives in a townhome - let me know your honest opinion on it and if you'd recommend it. thanks!! |

I'm looking at them as well. Here's what I've gathered in terms of pros and cons:
PROS:
You can often purchase a newer construction townhome than a single family residence. In my area, I can get a 20 year old townhouse for the same price as a 60 year old house
Community features--pools, exercise rooms etc...
Maintanence (lawn mowing, snow removal) included
CONS:
Sharing a common wall with neighbors
Month condo/homeowners fees |

We lived in a townhome for several years in Southern California.
Benefits-pool and spa(already maintained), no yard work, gated entrance, low maintenance costs.
Drawbacks-less privacy(especially sound), dealing with the homeowners association-there is usually one or more busy bodies, no real space for a big party, and the landscapers using there noisy leaf blowers WAY too early in the morning. |

If you're single, It is great! If you are not a handy person, it is great if you have an included maintence plan! If you like privacy and noise control, any kind of control really... Then it sucks! They are usually cheaper (unless you live in California then it really doesn't matter) and they are easier to maintain if you have a grounds keeper. And as far as home owners associations go, I live in a subdivision and it is deed restricted so you have to comply anyway. The head of our homeowners assoc is the only person on the block that has to date, broken every imposed rule... |

Less lawn to mow and more energy efficiency.
However, less control over your own house and many more neighbors. |

Depends. If you want alot of privacy and more space, buy a single family home. If you don't want to shovel snow, rake leaves or mow the lawn, buy a townhouse. But the monthly condo fee can be over $200. |

also under cons- in some markets a townhouse can be much harder to sell when you get ready to leave |

If it's only 2-3 people that will be living there, I think that should be perfect. The drawback is mainly that there are only walls that separate you from your neighbors which can be a downside if you are next to noisy neighbors or if you are noisy yourself since neighbors will complain. Overall, I think it's beneficial if these drawbacks don't seem like a big deal :) |

Neighbors? Yard? Appreciation? If you are buying it as an investment I don't care for the Idea. But is this going to be the last home you ever buy? I would maximize the potential of another house. |

As you say, benefits are more bang for your buck. Drawbacks are smaller space, closer neighbors, probably some kind of neighborhood association around shared open space. |
