What is the difference between a Condo and a Townhouse at my Open

By
Real Estate Agent 40CA1147997

This was the question asked at my open house in Webster, New York on Sunday.

What is the difference Between a CondoCondo and a Townhouse?

My response was a condo was a part of a bigger building  like an apartment building but you owned it instead of renting and could be multiple floors.. A townhouseTownhouse is a row of buildings with end units and sharing a common wall.

In the townhose you would own the land within and under the home but not the surrounding grounds and depending on area may have a basement area.

In either case there would be a Home Owners Association that you would pay a monthly fee for exterior maintanence. In a condo they may have an area you could rent for extra storage.

Both could have a common recreation area with a party room or pool.

The townhome has plenty of stairs and as we age, many try to avoid them.

Barbara-Jo,

Except for patio homes here even the condo's have stairs and a few elevators.

Hello Ray,

Great post as many consumers have some confusion when it comes to condos, townhomes and duplexes.
