2. LOW-MAINTENANCE
Maintenance of a townhouse generally requires considerably less effort than a single-family home. Typically, in a townhouse community, the homeowners’ association handles external maintenance. Snow to shovel in the winter, grass to cut in the summer, and leaves to rake in the fall – all tasks that you are typically not obligated to take care of living in a townhome.

3. VALUE FOR MONEY
Due to the smaller lot size, townhome residents may pay lower property taxes than those in single family homes. Furthermore, if you’re worried about having enough living space, don’t be. Many townhomes are every bit as roomy as their detached counterparts, and those with particularly smart floor plans can live like a much bigger home. (Source: 7 Advantages of Townhome Living).
