Townhomes
That “house” feeling with a smaller footprint.
Townhomes are an excellent option if you are looking for something with a smaller footprint, but that will still give you that “house” feel. The smaller essence of a townhouse will mean less overall maintenance on your end. The multi-floor concept is excellent for separating rooms and living spaces and helps the home to feel more spacious. These kinds of properties are generally a big win for first-time homebuyers or small families. They typically offer everything a detached house offers for less. Most of the time, you will have a bit of yard or shared space, maybe even a garage and, as we mentioned earlier, more than one floor. There are lots of townhomes in Edmonton that suit tons of different needs! Usually, they are built-in neighbourhood developments and have multiple floors, parking spaces for residents and visitors (sometimes garages!), and shared walls with another home(s).
A small family or first-time home buyer’s dream
Townhomes are typically condominiums, and as such, are subject to bylaws. Typically these rules are for maintaining some form of collectivity regarding the property’s exterior – you will pay into the condo monthly or yearly, depending on the property you choose. While it might seem like a drag to pay a monthly or yearly fee, the bonus is that this usually means you don’t need to worry about external maintenance. They will ensure your property is cared for depending on the season. A townhome is an excellent kind of home to consider if you are a busy family. You can save time by not worrying about shovelling or lawn mowing. If you’re a first-time homeowner who wants the “house” feel without the (usual) higher cost of purchasing a single-family home, then you’re in the right place!
