Townhouses - what is it?

seems that everyone already knows townhouses.What it is, it is no secret, and some of the details of the history of this type of structures are told in thousands of articles.We are not going to rewrite the way came to light in the construction of this line, and talk about the most important: the pros and cons.And, let us not only to buildings but also consider the village townhouses inside.

First, let's clarify a little detail, like the kind of buildings.For the British, or the Americans, the term has a unique definition - Townhouse (literal translation).For those living in Russian homes townhouses - it is not only the building, facing wall to wall in the city, saving the expensive land, but also banal cottages for two, three or four families with a separate entrance / entry and exit to the barbecue area in a nearby village.Subtleties of buildings - a matter of choice.In any case, this trend is developing very actively and the reason is simple - demand.

Pros of living in such houses as townhouses.What is it and how Hopes?

(Sorry for such a free treatment to the term, but it combines the improvisation on a given topic.)

  1. You have not got over the head of the neighbors that may flood, start to sing, dance or move furniture at midnight.
  2. most often at home are fitted with permanent heating systems, hot water supply and so on. D., Which greatly reduces the amount of the check for the utilities.
  3. BBQ - a definite plus.
  4. For the cost of an average two-bedroom apartment can get a spacious two-storey house with a garage and several parking spaces.
  5. Landscaped area in front of the house.
  6. proximity to nature (mostly townhouses near a forest or park).
  7. free planning.

Cons of living in such houses as townhouses.What is it and how hopes deceived

1. Because the buildings most often involved small private developers, which are very limited opportunities, infrastructure development remains outside the construction budget.As a result, you get comfortable accommodation in the "settlements" without shops, pharmacies, kindergartens and schools.If you are not burdened with family, the question is not very relevant, although how you will ride an ambulance?If a family has children, then someone from the parents have to leave work to accompany the child to school, in sports or ballet class in a nearby town.You can hire a governess, nanny or driver that you will agree, greatly increases costs.

2. Next minus can be attributed also to the previous item, but still distinguish it as a separate item.The direction is relatively new and its development is weak.We are in any case not to slander other than developers, offering to its clients and the subsequent maintenance of the entire complex (village).The price of property in them is much higher, of course, that conditions are better.We're talking about the market average statistical property of this kind - namely buildings for those who have changed the two-bedroom apartment on the three-storey cottage with a piece of land.As a result, residents gather around the banal apartments, who are happy to put up the gate a heap of rubble and debris.The scandals, insults and threats are becoming the norm.

As a result, I would like to say that everybody can learn Russian townhouses: what it is and comfortable whether they live.It is necessary to try to make a conclusion.Perhaps it is for you now built a beautiful house, where you will be happy.
