A town house is a single family dwelling which is constructed within a group or series of units. Town houses are multi level and provide for flexible living. Some are work-live units allowing you to separate living and work, others are designed for family living.

A condominium is one or more rooms grouped into a dwelling that is part of a much larger group of dwellings. The building usually has one or more facilities and services that are available for all of those living within the building. The owners and/or renters pay for these facilities and services via a monthly owner’s association fee.

The condominium building is serviced and maintained by the owners association who also pass down these costs to the owners and renters. These services can consist of such facilities as exercise rooms, swimming pools, recreational rooms, concierge services, guest rooms and party rooms. The level of services and facilities is obviously reflected in the monthly association services. Many condominiums have a high level of rentals and if you are a buyer seeking more permanent neighbours you should take this into account.
