Long Island townhouses range in price from just below $100,000 for 1 bedroom
units to $500,000 for larger units. Townhouses can be found throughout
the Long Island but are more common in Kingsbridge, near Bedford Park, and
Westchester. Townhouses in Long Island 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 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 Long Island 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.
