What townhomes are like in Richmond Hill
A townhome is a multi-level home that shares walls with its neighbours in a row. In Richmond Hill they come in two flavours: freehold towns, where you own the land and pay no condo fee, and condo towns, which carry a monthly fee for shared maintenance.
Townhomes give buyers a middle path: more room and often a garage and small yard, without the price or upkeep of a detached house.
Who townhomes suit
- First-time buyers wanting more than a condo at a reachable price.
- Move-up buyers and small families not yet ready for a detached home.
- Downsizers who want low maintenance without apartment living.
