2023 Barrie Townhome Market
You can own a townhouse for as low as $360 per square foot with average unit sizes from 1300 square feet and up. That’s cheaper compared to a single-family dwelling which costs an average of $1 million and above. There are different designs of townhouses to choose from. Basically, townhouses share side walls with the neighbours. Traditional townhouses are usually two-storey and have a basement and are very similar to a single-detached house without the higher price tag.
A three-storey traditional townhouse may appear similar to the usual two-storey type, but this one has no basement and allows more living space on the upper floors because a garage usually occupies the ground level. Another townhouse similar to a single-detached house is the bungalow loft type. Though it may seem small, this type of townhouse offers wider interiors than traditional townhouses and gives extra space in the second-floor loft areas. There are also stacked townhouses and back-to-back townhouses which are very similar to condominiums.
The main similarity among these types is they allow a more affordable price range among townhouse types because not only side walls are shared with neighbours but also the back walls. Homebuyers can still enjoy the exclusivity of having their own spaces–no sharing of lobby areas, elevators, or other common spaces like in condominiums. This is ideal for those who prefer a more intimate space.
