Condo

If you don’t like living in an apartment, condo life is probably not for you. You’ll still have shared walls, a shared parking garage and shared common areas. You won’t have complete control over your property, because you’ll be subject to homeowners’ association rules that may affect minute details of your life, such as what kind of Christmas lights you can put up or what kind of doormat you can use.

Townhouse

A townhouse or townhome is a hybrid between a condo and a house. These are often two or three stories, meaning that you don’t have downstairs or upstairs neighbors and therefore may enjoy more privacy and peace and quiet than in a condo.

House‍

Also called a single-family property, a house can be the most expensive option in terms of both total purchase price and ongoing maintenance, but it also gives you the most independence and privacy. A yard is also great for children, pets, barbecues, private pools, hot tubs and gardening.
