Condos vs. Townhouses; Which should I Invest in?

Condos and townhouses are both attractive options for first-time homebuyers, but there are key differences between the two. While condos offer communal ownership and shared living spaces, townhouses provide more ownership and privacy. Townhouses have a lower HOA fee but are more expensive to purchase. Condos offer community perks and events, but townhouses offer more privacy. Finally, while resale value depends on many factors, condos' well-maintained common areas often result in higher values.
