(such as parking spaces) and leisure (backyards for private or semi-private entertaining). • Practicality: Sometimes, it’s the more practical option. For example, a downtown three-bedroom townhouse might actually be a better investment option than the little two-bedroom house down the street. • Community: Townhouse living can also offer a similar sense of community to an apartment, but generally with more privacy and fewer neighbors. However, many homeowners would prefer to move into a condo or apartment, and there are many solid reasons for that, which we’ll take a look at in the following chapter.

Deciding where to live when downsizing is a meaningful choice, with several options worth considering. Smaller single-family homes and townhomes, for example, can offer a balance of independence and privacy, along with the satisfaction of homeownership and potential savings on utilities and upkeep.
