What Makes Townhomes So Popular

It’s no wonder so many Americans choose to live in townhomes – they offer the perfect mixture of convenience, low maintenance and ample space. At Villages of Urbana, we realize all of the positive aspects that townhomes have to offer, and we’re proud to have this type of construction in our community. But what is it exactly that makes townhomes popular with American consumers? It’s all of the advantages that townhomes offer to the buyers who are looking for both style and value. Read on for the benefits of owning a townhome.

· Owning the property, but not having to worry about maintenance.  Unlike traditional apartment units, living in a townhome means you also own the land your structure is on. The added benefit is that townhomes have little to no yard – so although you own the lot, you don’t have to worry too much about maintaining it. This is the perfect situation for those who don’t have much of a green thumb, but still want the sense of ownership that isn’t possible with apartment living.

· Amenities, amenities, amenities.  Many townhome developments include community amenities, making convenience a breeze for residents.  At Villages of Urbana, we offer fantastic amenities to residents of both our townhomes and single-family homes, including a community center, recreation center, pool, tennis courts, hiking and biking trail system and library.

· Great value.  Townhomes are known for the great value they offer, with oftentimes newer construction at a lower price point than single-family homes in the area. At Villages of Urbana, both our townhomes and single-family homes provide a fantastic value, especially considering their proximity to Montgomery County and the major metropolitan areas of Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.

· Neighbors who care.  A commonly cited benefit to living in townhomes is the sense of community that develops between neighbors. Since townhomes share a common wall, neighbors are physically closer, but this can lead to stronger bonds between townhomes owners. This camaraderie and closeness between neighbors can come in handy if you have a last-minute favor to ask or a party to plan, for example.

For many people, the combination of all the benefits above makes townhomes the perfect choice for their lifestyle and needs. And for these consumers, the only thing better than the perfect townhome is the perfect townhome in a superb location. At Villages of Urbana, we’re proud to offer beautifully constructed townhomes from NVHomes and Ryan Homes in a close-knit, charming community.

The location of Villages of Urbana allows us to benefit from scenic and charming Frederick County, while also enjoying the convenience of being close to major metro areas. The combination of our location and the quality of our construction can only leave you wondering why you didn’t choose a townhome in the Villages of Urbana sooner.
