Simplify Your Life: The Low Maintenance Benefits of New Construction Townhomes
When it comes to deciding whether to buy a home, there are many financial reasons why owning is often more beneficial than renting. But with homeownership comes bigger responsibility for all things related to the home: If something breaks or needs to be replaced, there’s no landlord to call for a fix. Unexpected costs must be covered by you. You have to pay property taxes every year. Snow removal and lawn care are yours to deal with.
But there’s another option that balances the benefits of homeownership with the conveniences of having much of that maintenance done for you. If you want to stop paying rent but you’d rather spend your free time doing the things you enjoy instead of all the various home maintenance chores that owning a home requires, townhouse living could be the lifestyle upgrade you’ve been looking for. A townhome is a great choice for cost savings, minimal upkeep, and modern convenience.
The Dollars and Sense of Townhomes
The purchase price of townhomes are often lower than single family homes for a couple of reasons. Townhomes generally sit on smaller lots, and the structure of townhomes – typically built in rows, with shared walls between units – also contributes to the affordability of townhomes versus detached homes.
New construction townhomes provide even more of a financial advantage. They come with brand-new and energy-efficient appliances, windows, and doors, along with their warranties. You can count on them to last for years to come, with less maintenance in the meantime. Your new furnace won’t have to work as hard, either, because being situated between other heated buildings means it’s easier to keep the climate controlled at the level you want. The same goes for air conditioning in the hotter months.
Low-Maintenance Living
In a townhome community such as Martins Crossing in Hooksett or Sheffield Place in Londonderry, New Hampshire, there is no need to worry about mowing lawns, shoveling snow, or maintaining large yards. This exterior maintenance of your property has already been accounted for. That’s sure to free up your evenings and weekends so you can spend more time on hobbies, relaxation, or with family instead of the tasks that owners of single-family homes often shoulder by themselves.
Community Amenities
Living in a townhome may come with a strong sense of community. Shared neighborhood space promotes easy access to recreational activities and friendships. The proximity of townhomes makes it easy to get to know your neighbors and create opportunities for social gatherings. Chances are, you’ll always have someone to keep an eye on the house while you’re away, join a walking group with you, or take care of the pets when you need it.
The Townhome Owner Profile
Almost everyone in any stage of life might consider a townhome. First-time buyers are great candidates for purchasing a townhome. Its more affordable cost compared to single family homes can keep new owners within their budget. Empty nesters looking to move from larger homes after raising their families might choose a new construction townhome because it allows them to downsize without sacrificing style or convenience. Busy professionals with demanding careers will be attracted to the low maintenance aspects of townhomes. Small families who don’t require as much space can settle very comfortably in the living space provided by townhomes.
