The Top 5 Things to Consider When Buying a Townhouse
Here are some of the things that you will have to consider before deciding if a Walnut Grove townhouse is the right fit for you and your family:
Privacy Matters
Since townhouses are generally attached to one another, you will not be able to gain the same amount of privacy that you would have if you were to purchase a detached house ; however, while your privacy may be slightly impaired by the close proximity to your neighbours, you might also feel safer knowing that, in the event of any emergency, help is close by.
Homeowner Association Fees
One of the biggest similarities between townhomes and condominiums is that most townhome developments are part of a homeowner’s association. Before buying a townhouse you will have to take into consideration the monthly fees that the homeowner’s association will charge in order to provide services, such as lawn care, maintenance, and other general services. These fees vary for different townhouse developments and vary based on size, age and amenities offered.
Amenities
There are often amenities and perks that come with buying a townhouse. Your townhome may be in a community that provides communal entertainment options such as playground equipment, park space, and swimming pools. These amenities would be maintained with the homeowner association fees.
Unit Placement
One of the most important factors that you will have to take into consideration is the unit placement of the townhome you are looking to purchase. While an interior unit offers a decrease in utility bills because there are no exposed exterior walls, units on the end provide more privacy because there is only one shared wall with neighbours.
Location
The most important consideration that you will have to take into account is the location of the townhome you are looking at purchasing. Buying a townhouse in Walnut Grove will put you within close proximity of many major attractions, recreational facilities, and shopping centers. Walnut Grove offers the resources of a big city while still maintaining that smaller community feel.
