[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never ever got the appeal of a townhouse. You may as well get a condo.[/quote]

You don't have anyone above or below you and sometimes share just one wall. You can have a private garage and driveway. [/quote]

Also, what is wrong with a condo?  If built properly (our building is 20+ years old), soundproofing is excellent.  I only hear the people above us a few times a week, typically when something heavy is dropped.  Otherwise, we hear nothing from above, below or next door.  When you renovate and replace floors you must soundproof, and there are fire walls/soundproofing walls between the units.

I love having no real maintenance at all and the city at my doorstep.  2 bedrooms for 2 of us is all we need (and 2 bathrooms).  Easy to clean a 1500 sq ft place (versus the 4.5 sq ft home we downsized from).  Then again, we are a more upscale condo building, so even the renters are "not your typical rental clientele"---the prices things rent for tend to get you better tenants than many places

“Only a few times a week” is awful. That means the soundproofing quality is not great and your quality of life is entirely dependent on whether you have bad neighbors. It might not bother you now but this can become an extreme nuisance if you get neighbors who are extremely loud and inconsiderate. [/quote]
