Before ruling out a townhouse, it is important to remember not all builders are the same. For example, Urban Mews offers affordable townhouse and land packages, with stylish fittings and enough space for the whole family.

Bigger Than an Apartment

Townhouses are 2 storeys, so you can fit in much more than a typical apartment. Some designs can even have 4 bedrooms which means you will never be short on space.

If it is a smaller footprint you are after, a townhouse is definitely on our list of pros. With open plan living and no neighbours living downstairs, you will be comfortable in a townhouse for many years to come.

A Low Maintenance Backyard

Depending on your lifestyle, a small backyard could be a pro or a con. While there probably won’t be room to kick a football or install a lap pool, you will still be able to cook a BBQ and enjoy the sunset.

Low maintenance yards are ideal for those who don’t want to spend hours in the garden, and adventurous people who like to travel without worrying about their outdoor area.

It’s a Good Investment

Your townhouse will be a good investment because even if you do outgrow it there is the opportunity to rent it out. Due to the smaller land sizes, you may be able to secure a block of land in a sought after area where the demand for housing is high.

With a quality build and the right location, the price of your property will rise and this could be part of your financial strategy for the future.

Closer Neighbours

This might be a con if you don’t like your neighbours, but it can be nice to have friendly people living next door. Townhouses normally form part of a community, and this can increase security as everyone shares the responsibility for keeping the area safe.

Some townhouses will be part of strata, and this can be met with additional fees for maintenance and upkeep of the group. This is an important consideration when purchasing a townhouse, but you may just find your neighbours become your new best friends!

Design it Your Way

There are a large number of townhouse designs available, and Urban Mews in Perth gives you a range of options to suit your lifestyle. Often people are surprised by the affordability of a townhouse and the ability of the builder to secure land in their desired locations.

A townhouse can be packed with features such as luxury fittings, outstanding interior design and curb appeal. Just because it is a townhouse doesn’t mean you have to make sacrifices as your 2 storey abode can tick all of your boxes.

Pros and Cons of Buying a Townhouse in Australia

Your own personal preferences will determine whether there are any cons to buying a townhouse. If it is a big backyard and a standalone property you have been dreaming of this may not be the best choice.

However, for those looking to get into the market, secure an investment downsize, or build a spacious two-storey townhouse on a budget in their favourite suburb, this could be the answer!
