5 Perks of a Single Family Home VS a Townhome

Finding the best home often requires prospective buyers to consider a wide range of issues that may influence their decision. While the convenient location and lower cost of a townhome can be very attractive, a single family home provides a number of perks that households may not want to pass up. From increased privacy to single-story floor plans, a conventional home may have a lot more to offer than you might realize.

Great Views

Living in such close proximity to your neighbors means having to give up a great deal of privacy. Lawns, yards and other exterior environments that only a more traditional home can provide can go a long way towards enhancing privacy.  Not only do you get more privacy in a single family home, but you have space to have big windows with amazing views. In a townhome your views are of your neighbor’s buildings or a parking garage. Being able to relax at home without having to worry about prying eyes or noise levels is not a concern that should be taken lightly.

Big Garages and Driveways

Townhomes are not known for their open spaces or ease of access.  You will most likely have to park your car in a parking lot that may or may not be covered. You will definitely not have a spacious driveway. This makes it extra difficult when you add more cars to your family.

This can make things difficult when you are rushing to get the kids out the door in the morning. Having so many units crammed into a small space can turn even a simple move into a major ordeal. Moving into a single family home is often a much easier proposition. You will definitely have to measure all your furniture and the stairwells to make sure that fit your bigger furniture pieces before you move.

Beautiful Backyards

Having to make due with limited access to outdoor environments is rarely ideal. The swimming pools, clubhouses and other shared environments that many townhomes offer often mean having to deal with a crowd.  While it’s nice to have someone else mow the grass, it’s usually a very small private area that you will get. Conventional homes make it much easier to enjoy the outdoors. If you have kids or pets you will have a lot less private space in a townhome.

Gorgeous Kitchen

Most townhomes have very small kitchens. This space is usually a combined dining room with a kitchen and living room in one floor with living space somewhere else. This makes it hard to remodel in the future to install the newest and best appliances that are a must have for a modern kitchen. Having a crammed kitchen will mean less counterpace. Having a kitchen island and stone countertops is very popular right now. An open concept kitchen is a rare find in a townhome.

Remodel Your Way

The rules and regulations governing a homeowners association or shared-space environments can be a real headache. When it comes time to plan your next move, focusing on single family homes for sale can help to ensure that you will not be burdened or inconvenienced by needless red tape. Fewer rules and regulations make it much easier to enjoy a more relaxing home environment. Not only will your purchasing power be bigger, but you won’t have to worry about monthly HOA dues or being told what colors you can and cannot paint your home. Many HOA’s put limits on what type of windows you can have. The color of your curtains, what type of door you install in your home. You should be able to choose whatever you want with your own property.

While townhomes have a lot to offer, they may not be the best fit for every family or household. A single family home could provide you with greater privacy and increased comfort. Overlooking the many perks that a more conventional home can provide could end up being a bigger misstep than you might expect.
