With many Vancouver homebuyers priced out of the detached home market, townhouses remain a popular option. Starting prices for towns are significantly lower than detached homes, but offer more space and bedrooms than the typical high-rise condominium. If you’re in the market for a townhouse, here’s a look at seven new construction developments now selling across Vancouver.
1. Duchess & Horley
Developer: Baron Projects
Neighbourhood: Renfrew-Collingwood
Status: Completed
Priced from: $842,900
Located in the tree-lined and family-friendly community of Norquay Village, Duchess & Horley is a collection of six classically styled and beautifully-crafted townhouses by Baron Projects. The three-bedroom designs are bright and spacious, but what makes them truly unique is the separate, locked-off rental suite on the lower level that homeowners can use as an income property to help pay the mortgage.
2. Terraces at Oak Park
Developer: Vanwell Homes
Neighbourhood: Marpole
Status: Under construction
Priced from: $869,900
Clad in wood, metal and masonry, the townhouses at Terraces at Oak Park have a quintessential west coast vibe. Developed by Vanwell Homes, these towns offer a variety of one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts with contemporary finishes including quartz countertops, laminate floors throughout and stainless steel appliance packages. Some units also come equipped with self-contained double garages and private concrete storage lockers, providing the detached home lifestyle and functionality.
