Townhouses for Rent and Sale in Erie, PA

There are a lot of factors to consider when you’re looking for a new place to live. How much space do you need? Do you live alone or have a large family? What part of the city do you want to live in? Do you need parking? A yard? Do you want to buy or rent? How much are you willing to pay? Often, people will look at these factors and then boil it down to a simplified binary decision: house or apartment?

But there’s another option which often goes overlooked, but may provide you with a nice middle ground if you can’t decide between moving to a house or an apartment: the townhouse. Palermo Realty has townhouses throughout the greater Erie area that may be exactly what you’re looking for.  

What is a Townhouse?

A townhouse, sometimes called a townhome, is something of a hybrid of a freestanding house and a condo or apartment. While apartments are most often commercial properties available for rent, townhouses are individually owned. Townhouses will also often have multiple floors and have their own private entrances. Unlike a freestanding house, townhouses will share walls with neighboring properties, and will generally share common spaces like a yard or pool with them as well.

Top 4 Benefits of Buying or Renting a Townhouse

1. Cost. There are many advantages to choosing a townhome, but the number one benefit is the cost. Buying a house can be incredibly costly, and townhomes with comparable square footage are often available at much more affordable price point. This is especially helpful for first-time buyers and young families who want space for their kids but haven’t accrued the wealth necessary to buy a detached single-family home.  
2. Amenities. Additionally, townhomes may provide amenities that come with the development, such as a shared yard, gym, pool, or even a tennis court. Amenities like this would be extremely costly in a private home, and may be harder to come by in traditional apartment buildings.
3. Maintenance & Upkeep. Being part of the shared space may also mean there is a homeowners association that will take care of much of the upkeep required to maintain the property. If you aren’t into landscaping, mowing the lawn, or painting the exterior of your house, you’ll enjoy someone else taking care of that for you when living in a townhouse.  
4. Community. Living in a townhome provides you with the perfect balance of having the space and privacy afforded to you in a private home, while still having your neighbors close enough to provide you with a sense of community. This also provides you with an extra layer of security, as having neighbors nearby means you’ll always have someone looking out for you and your home.
