Selecting a homesite within a condominium or townhome community involves choices as to the position of the residential unit itself. Townhouse or condominium homesites are very site-specific. Proximity to amenities such as pools, clubhouses and fitness centers are other items to consider. It's all based on your lifestyle. You may want to work out at the clubhouse and factor in a warm up and cool down walk to get there, or you may be the kind of person that needs to be close enough to the clubhouse that you are reminded daily to use it.
Garage parking is another issue.
In the cases where garage parking is offered, but not attached, such as the condominium flats at The Townhomes at Hunting Meadow in Lincoln Park, proximity to that parking becomes a priority for some homebuyers. The actual floor plan is another thing to keep in mind when selecting a homesite, be it a townhome or a single-family residence. Homebuyers want to make sure that the rooms where they are going to be doing the majority of their living, such as the kitchen and family room, have the sun exposure they desire. I've also had quite a few homebuyers, in particular at the Townhomes at Hunting Ridge in Parsippany, concerned with the floor plan of various units and how they related to the principals of Fen Shui.
