Why Townhomes are Great for 55+

April 25, 2025

Townhomes are an excellent choice for people throughout the various stages of life. If you’re 55+ and are looking at new homes in Montgomery County PA, we invite you to learn more about our stylish, quality-built townhomes and why they could be just what you need.

Our townhomes are spacious and comfortable, but they’re typically smaller than the single-family homes that many empty nesters have after raising a family. As the kids leave home, the extra space often goes unused and just makes more work with cleaning and maintenance. With the smaller footprint of a townhome, there’s less work in the overall maintenance, leaving you more time for yourself.

Furthermore, there isn’t the same exterior maintenance of the building and yard as with single-family homes. This is another reason many people 55 and up prefer a townhome as it’s a further reduction in time-consuming maintenance. You’ll still find green areas, and townhomes often have decks and patios so you can still enjoy the outdoors … just with less work.

Townhome communities are typically built in areas closer to shopping, dining, and other needs and attractions. This means you have easier access to places and things and shorter drives than from typical suburbs. In fact, you can often walk or ride a bicycle to some of the nearby amenities, which many people enjoy. With the free time saved on home maintenance, you have more time to get out and enjoy the local attractions.

Townhome communities typically lack the suburban sprawl, so it’s often easier to get to know your neighbors. You’re also likely to meet others with similar interests or stages in life, which can lead to a fuller and more active lifestyle. Whether it’s get-togethers for drinks on the patio or heading out for rides or walks along local trails or brunch at a nearby restaurant, you may find it easier to make connections and find new friends in your townhome community.

Lower maintenance, easier and quicker access to local amenities, and more free time all make townhomes the ideal new homes in Montgomery County PA for those who are 55+. If you’re looking to potentially downsize, without sacrificing comfort and style, but want somewhere where it’s easier to feel a sense of community, look no further than our outstanding townhomes.
