TOWNHOME VS SINGLE FAMILY
Buying a home can be an intimidating process – there are so many decisions you will have to make. Probably the most important one is which type of home to choose! Most people know which type they are looking for, but you might be unsure of which will suit your lifestyle the best. Read on if you need help deciding!
TOWNHOMES
Townhomes have become more popular in recent years for a number of reasons. First, affordability. This is a great option if you are just starting out and want to be conservative with the price of your home. It is a perfect starter home that you can grow with and move onto something bigger once you are ready. Townhomes are also an attractive option for downsizing later in life. When the kids move out, you don’t need so much space anymore! Our Cobalt Beach townhomes are great because there is a range of sizes available, depending on where you are at in your life. The use of space is also practical – there is nothing wasted!
A maintenance-free lifestyle is another factor that buyers consider. If you want more time to travel, get outdoors, or just don’t want the hassle of shoveling and mowing the lawn, this is how you achieve it! Life is so busy on its own and taking one or two things off of your to-do list can help relieve some stress. Plus, you still have a bit of outdoor space to enjoy a garden or a patio set! There is also a stronger sense of community since you will be seeing and interacting with your neighbors quite often. Block parties every weekend? Yes please!
Often times townhome complexes are close to a number of amenities. Take for example Cobalt Beach in Jensen Lakes, where you are a few minutes away from the movie theatre, brewhouse, and a number of shops and restaurants. Also – the beach is five minutes away! If you are looking for an urban, outdoor type of lifestyle, then these townhomes may be a perfect fit for you.
SINGLE FAMILY
Onto single family homes, which are also an affordable option. There are many pros to this as well but we will go through the basics. If you are someone who likes taking care of a yard, having a lot of space, and getting your privacy, than this may be the option for you. It may be a time in your life where your focus is your family and spending time at home. You want a place that can accommodate the lifestyle of a busy family! More square footage, a bigger yard, and maybe a bigger garage to store all of your toys.
Single family homes are great if you are still looking to grow your family. It will be a space for you to call home for years to come! There is usually a ton of space to entertain and to host family get-togethers. More space = more opportunity!
We have many great lot options to choose from, whether you are wanting something close to the lake or something backing onto green space. Any floor plan can be customized to suit your needs – we love getting creative!
