Townhomes are the New Starter Home

March 24, 2025

As a respected home builder in Montgomery County PA, we take pride in offering a variety of housing options to fit a range of needs and budgets. One option that is increasingly popular among buyers – especially first-time buyers – are our townhomes.

Among the many reasons why people turn to townhomes for their starter home is the affordability. As well as often being priced less than new construction single-family homes, they are often more affordable than pre-owned single-family homes.

Yet townhomes still offer a similar number of bedrooms and the usual living spaces that you find in single-family homes. In fact, many of our new townhomes even include flex spaces, allowing more adaptability to your personal lifestyle, for things like a home office, a kids playroom or a home gym. Plus, you still have spacious living rooms and kitchens and appealing features throughout the home.

Another reason why townhomes make great starter homes is that they ease you into the world of home maintenance. Fortunately, with new townhomes, you get many of the same benefits of new construction homes such as newer and better building materials that keep your home more energy efficient, as well as being less likely to need unexpected and costly repairs. In addition, you benefit from lower exterior maintenance so you spend less of your free time doing chores, leaving you time to get out and enjoy the community.

The location of townhomes is another attractive feature for many people. You’re more likely to be in a vibrant urban or suburban area as townhomes are often built within easy access – sometimes even by foot or by bicycle – to shopping, dining, and entertainment. Plus there’s often a sense of community within the townhome neighborhood where you get to know your neighbors through shared green spaces and features such as walking trails, depending on the amenities.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or just looking for a new home that is affordable and ideally located, it’s worth exploring the many benefits of townhomes. As a home builder in Montgomery County PA, we always put a lot of thought and effort into building quality townhomes that are affordable and desirable.
