A townhouse is a type of housing where several people own separate units in a larger building or complex. Each unit is owned by an individual.
A townhouse is a type of residential dwelling, typically multistoried, characterized by its shared walls with adjacent homes in the series. This form of housing offers a blend of the features found in detached single-family homes and condominiums. Like a single-family home, a townhouse owner typically owns the land the house stands on, whereas, like a condo, it offers close community living often with shared amenities such as swimming pools or gyms. It appeals to those desiring a home with less maintenance, enhanced security, and a sense of community, while still providing the ownership perks of land and building. The architectural design of townhouses often leans toward urban aesthetics, making them common choices in densely-populated areas.
