Townhouse communities are residential areas where multiple homes, known as townhouses, are built close together. Each townhouse typically shares one or two walls with neighboring units, allowing for efficient use of space. These homes often have multiple levels and may include small yards or patios. Townhouse communities can be found in urban, suburban, and even rural settings. Residents in townhouse communities often share common amenities, such as parks, swimming pools, or clubhouses. Homeowners usually pay a monthly fee to a homeowners' association (HOA) that manages these shared spaces and enforces community rules. This arrangement fosters a sense of community while providing a more affordable housing option compared to single-family homes.
