What You Need To Know Before Buying A Townhouse

Are you shopping for a home on a tight budget? Having limited funds shouldn’t stop you from getting the dwelling of your dreams. There are plenty of suitable alternatives to buying a traditional single-family house and lot in the Philippines. One such option is a townhouse. 

In recent years, townhouses have emerged as a top residential choice in the Philippines, particularly for those who want reasonably priced homes without having to sacrifice comfort and convenience. A project like The Nest Horizon in Sta. Cruz, Antipolo is a prime illustration of the high-caliber quality you can expect to find in the market for townhouses for sale today. 

 

So, what exactly is a townhouse?

Townhouses are multi-level residential properties that share one to two walls with the neighboring unit. These properties are usually linked together with two or more units that have similar exterior features. Some townhouses may come with a small carport or garden.

Here are a few things to consider before purchasing a townhouse for yourself.

 

Location is key

As with all residential properties, a townhouse is only as good as its location. Most townhouse developments are found in subdivisions in highly-developed cities, close to essential establishments like schools, supermarkets, hospitals, and churches. For example, The Nest Horizon by Firebird Holdings Corporation is nestled in the dynamic city of Antipolo, where everything one needs to live comfortably is within easy reach. 

 

Single-family living for less

Despite being more compact and affordable than traditional standalone homes, your living experience won’t differ much with a townhouse. There are plenty of townhouses that have spacious interiors and come complete with a small yard and ample parking space. It’s an excellent way to put your roots down in dynamic cities like Antipolo or Pasig without having to spend a fortune. 

 

An excellent choice for first-time buyers

The compact size of a townhouse means it requires less maintenance and upkeep, making it ideal if you’re constantly on-the-go or are a first-time home buyer who wants a simple starter home. Many developments also don’t require you to maintain the shared lot and exterior of the development, so there’s even less for you to worry about. 

 

Short turn-over time

A townhouse development typically has anywhere between two to fifteen units. This means that you can look forward to a short turn-over time and immediate availability compared to subdivisions or condominium buildings. Most units are already ready-for-occupancy so all that’s left to do for you is to pack up your belongings and settle into your new home. 

 

Privacy and security is paramount

Even if you’ll be sharing a wall between your neighbors, you’re still guaranteed utmost privacy with a townhouse since each unit comes with its own entrance and exit. You’re granted your own personal space unlike the shared public spaces and hallways in a condominium building. Since most townhouses for sale are found in subdivisions, your safety is further guaranteed thanks to round-the-clock security services and guarded gates. 

These are just a few of the many advantages that come with living in a townhouse like The Next in Sta. Cruz, Antipolo. Doing your homework and finding the right property for you ensures that you end up with a forever home that’s built to last.
