First, what is a townhouse, anyway? As you probably already know, this type of property is usually attached to others, and it usually consists of multiple floors. This type of property has a very small footprint, which is a major plus in a big city like Boston. Therefore, you're more likely to see them in urban areas rather than suburban or rural ones. Still, regardless of where you are looking in Massachusetts, Boston City Properties can help you pinpoint options that suit your budget and needs.

The history of the townhouse is encapsulated in the very term. This type of structure is called this because in early times, wealthy landowners in England would have lavish country estates where they spent most of their time. For the busy social season, however, when balls and the like were constantly happening, the rich would often relocate to so-called "town homes" to be closer to the action. Compared with their lavish country estates, these homes were very compact. However, they were still of exceptional quality and usually demonstrated the finest techniques and materials of the day. As a result, it is still possible to find well-preserved older examples of these structures in cities around the country and world.

Features

As mentioned before, this type of structure has a small footprint, which means that it doesn't take up a lot of space on the ground. Rather, this type of building is made to stand tall in order to accommodate multiple stories. Unlike apartments and many condos, which typically have to be accessed from interior hallways, townhouses typically have private entrances that open right out onto the street. They don't usually have yards, per se, but many have fenced in spaces in the front or back where residents can enjoy some fresh air.

About Massachusetts Townhouses

Compared with many areas of the country, Massachusetts has a high concentration of townhomes. That is largely due to the fact that the area became densely populated from the earliest days of its modern settlement. Clearly, the British who came over to colonize Massachusetts brought the concept with them, and it made sense under the circumstance. Most of these structures in this state are found in Boston or in outlying areas, but they can also be found in towns and cities throughout the commonwealth.

For the greatest assortment of options, you are best off sticking with metro Boston. Many neighborhoods in the city boast row after row of townhouses, providing all kinds of options for those who are looking to buy. In Back Bay, for example, you can take your pick from some of the finest Victorian townhomes in the city. Much of the neighborhood is a National Historic District largely because it is home to so many well-preserved buildings like these. Although many of them have been converted to businesses, it is still possible to find homes to buy and live in. You will also find high concentrations of these structures in neighborhoods like Charlestown, Allston, Dorchester and Beacon Hill.

How to Find

Because there is a much smaller inventory of them, finding a great townhouse can be challenging. In most cities and towns in Massachusetts, these types of buildings only account for 5 to 10 percent of all residential structures. Some cities and towns lack them entirely. One thing's for sure: The best way to find what you need quickly and easily is by having access to timely, accurate real estate market information. That's especially important in major metro areas like Boston, where competition tends to be fierce.
