The answer to this question depends on your lifestyle and budget. The main difference between a townhouse and a condo lies in the amount of space, privacy, and maintenance you get. With a townhouse, you’d typically have more space and privacy, but it will cost more, and handling maintenance will be entirely up to you. On the other hand, condos are cheaper, and you have less to worry about in terms of repairs. Still, you also get plenty of neighbors, and your freedom might be limited by occasionally strict community rules.
