New townhomes, more house for the money.

Towns are the pragmatic middle of new construction: more room than a condo and less money than a detached home. The two formats behave very differently, though. A freehold town is land you own. A stacked or condo town carries monthly fees and resells more like a condo. We'll tell you which one you're looking at, what the fees are likely to be, and how similar resale towns nearby have actually sold.
