If you’ve been trying to figure out whether or not a condo or a townhouse is right for you, you’ve come to the right place.
Though some people would argue that condos and townhomes are pretty similar, there are a lot of differences that become apparent when you look closely. The good news is that Theberge Homes has modern and well-appointed condos and townhomes in Ottawa, so no matter which you prefer we have you covered.
Hopefully we’ll be able to share a little bit of inside information about this topic so that you’re able to find the right house for your needs going forward!
Breaking down condo living
There are a lot of advantages to living in a condo, and the biggest might be the location. They are located in desirable neighbourhoods in Ottawa with nearby shops, restaurants, and cafés.
Condos do come with fees to help pay for things like maintenance, lawn care, and upkeep of the common areas. However, Theberge condos come with low condo fees that don’t put a damper on your budget.
Condos are also excellent because they of the close proximity to your neighbours. If you want to be part of a tight-knit community with like-minded individuals, condo living might be right for you.
Breaking down townhome living
Townhomes are independent houses built into rows that share adjoining walls, and are considered to be some of the best pieces of real estate in any urban setting. Townhomes give homeowners the opportunity to own their own piece of property like this would in the suburbs without giving up all of the benefits of city living, though you aren’t going to have your own big backyard.
You’ll also be responsible for maintenance on the inside as well as the outside of your townhome, and may even have to tackle some of the maintenance for communal areas that you share with other townhome owners as well.
At the end of the day, only you are going to be able to determine whether a condo or townhome is right for you.
Condos are usually better for those that want (and are willing to pay for) more amenities and a tighter knit community, while townhomes are best suited to those that want to stake out their own little space in the city at a price that makes sense. Whichever you choose, Theberge Homes has a home that is right for you. Our developments at Alta Vista Ridge and Huntclub Towns are selling out fast, so act quickly.
