First Time Homebuyers Gravitate to Townhomes Affordability and Low Maintenance
Congratulations! You’ve decided to buy your first townhome.
If you’re like a lot of first-time homebuyers, you might be gravitating to townhomes because they are typically more affordable with the potential for lower utility bills and insurance costs. Then there’s the benefit of lower maintenance. After all, a lot of people can spend their time enjoying neighborhood amenities – like private pools, dog parks, and play parks.
Today’s new-construction, design-forward two- and three-story townhomes like Tri Pointe’s Southridge Pointe in the southwest Las Vegas valley, Highview at Inspirada in Henderson, Vertex in Summerlin, and Crestview in the Northwest offer spacious open floorplans ranging from approximately 1,529 to 2,252 square-feet. They have plenty of windows for natural light and fabulous views; they boast two-bay garages; and they feature an abundance of outdoor living options from decks and balconies to patios and even private landscaped backyards
