Renting a townhouse gives you the benefits of an independent home without you having to trouble yourself with such details as mowing the lawn, constant maintenance, or a down payment. At Rent.com we'll help you find townhouses in any area that will meet all of your requirements with our extensive rental listings.
Once unique to big cities, townhouse rentals can now be found all over the country. These rental homes are perfect for singles, a couple, or a small family. Formerly called "row houses," the best feature townhouses offer are the floor plans, which are similar to that of an independent house, but offer more space than a typical apartment. In general, townhouses are multi-storied structures with units on each side (putting you in close proximity to your neighbors) that give you the security of apartment housing with the privacy of a single-family home.
The multiple units that make up townhouse neighborhoods are usually arranged in a row, with each home having a unique point of entry. Some townhouses feature balconies, porches, patios, or even a deck or small back yard.
Townhouses are usually designed with the living room, kitchen, and other shared spaces on the ground floor and the bedrooms on the upper floors. The number of bedrooms varies from one townhouse rental to another, but usually these rental homes have one to three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. Almost all rental townhouses also have such features as covered garages and walk-in closets. It's also possible to find a townhouse rental that offers you the added advantage of a fireplace.
The kitchen in a townhouse rental can come in many different styles — from traditional to galley. Rental homes with larger floor plans may even come with an island in the center of the kitchen.
A townhouse rental combines the benefits of an independent single family home with those of a condo. It is distinguished by its unique floor plans and individual units. Though often multi-storey structures, a townhouse rental will provide you the added benefit of only having neighbors adjacent to you but not above or below your unit.
Some of the primary reasons one would choose a townhouse rental over an apartment rental, single family home, or condo are:
Remember, your townhouse rental will provide you with amenities that are similar to that of a condo or apartment, with the added benefits of a house.
