Townhouses in Halifax often can make an excellent "middle ground"
between a detached single family home and a full fledged condominium
because, to some degree, they offer attributes of both. A townhouse
by definition is a home that is attached to one or more other houses,
but which sits directly on a parcel of land that you also own (if
you don't own the land, it is a condominium). For this discussion,
townhouses can ranges from duplexes and triplexes all the way through
huge townhouse communities (like in Clayton Park and Rockingham) consisting
of hundreds of similar homes. There is a good degree of variance in
the way townhouse communities are structured. It may be a simple agreement
(as is often the case of duplexes and triplexes) that each parcel
of land and the home that sits on it is separately owned. In the case
of larger townhouse communities, you will generally have an additional
shared ownership in the common areas of the complex as well as any
amenities such as swimming pools, park areas, etc. This ownership
you will share jointly with all other townhouse owners in the complex.
In any townhouse purchase that involves a Halifax Homeowners' Association,
it is vitally important to get as much information as you can, since
the association can have a considerable impact on your ownership experience.
Halifax townhouses range in price from $75,000 to $500,000 with an
average to be about $100,000 in Dartmouth and $200,000 in Halifax.
