There are plenty of things that excite new homeowners about having a place of their own. Maintenance is not usually on that list. Luckily, there’s a way to own a home without all those time-consuming chores. In the Raleigh suburbs, Fuquay–Varina townhomes feature a low-maintenance lifestyle close to downtown.

Modern townhome design

Modern townhomes are designed to provide all the benefits of a single-family home. The square footage is often comparable. While detached homes are designed for horizontal space, a townhome rises up in a vertical layout. Your townhome could be 3 levels, with the first floor being the garage and entry, the next level featuring the main living area, and the bedrooms on the top floor.

The lower level has living space adjacent to the garage. With some townhome floor plans, you have a junior suite with a bathroom and closet here. It’s ideal for larger households or people who need a home office with extra privacy. Step outside the back to a patio, a private haven just for you.

The middle level of a 3-story townhome is the main living area—usually an open floor plan with kitchen, living room, and dining room, plus a half-bath. The openness of the space enhances the spaciousness, and the light streaming from the large windows in the front and back of the home brings ambient light.

Depending on the size and layout, you might have a bedroom, suite, or flex space on this level as well. Architects apply creativity to make the best use of the square footage in a townhome, incorporating a smart layout and essential storage spaces—for the comfort and convenience of the people living here.

A rear deck is another nice feature on this main level of a townhome floor plan. For grilling, sitting outside with your morning coffee, or entertaining, having outdoor living space is a plus for any homeowner.

The upper level in a townhome floor plan is the privacy place. Your bedrooms are situated above everything. The perfect layout for your quiet retreat!

Another very important feature of modern townhouse design addresses privacy. Living in an attached home no longer means you can hear what’s happening next door. With quality insulation and soundproofing, you can enjoy peaceful living in your spacious home.

The lock-and-leave benefit of townhome living

Owning a townhome brings together some of the most sought-after aspects of a single-family home and a condominium. Like a detached home, you own the townhouse and the land it’s built on. Like a condo, you don’t have to worry about exterior maintenance. Lawn care, exterior paint, snow removal, weeding, and roof repair are usually included in your homeowner’s association (HOA) fee. This freedom is often referred to as a “lock-and-leave” lifestyle. You can go off on a trip and not worry about your weeds taking over your lawn, which also became overgrown. 

Living in a townhome community provides a close connection with your neighbors. You’ll get to know them as you come and go, when you’re walking your dog, or using the community’s amenities. These friendships lead to a valuable resource for your lock-and-leave lifestyle. Your neighbors can be called on to keep an eye on your home while you’re gone, water your houseplants, take care of your pets, and pick up any packages left at your door. In addition to this convenience, there’s peace of mind that comes with knowing people are looking out for you.

So, how are you going to spend the extra time you have because you chose a townhome? If you’re considering the Raleigh suburbs, Fuquay–Varina townhomes feature a low-maintenance lifestyle close to downtown.
