Townhouses on the Rise in Greater Victoria

Townhouses represent just 11 per cent of units sold compared to condos and single detached homes. However, they are generally less expensive than detached residential homes because of shared walls and amenities yet have more square footage than a condo.

“They tend to be more suitable for families than high density condos,” said Casey Edge, executive director of the Victoria Residential Builders Association. “As land and [government] taxes and fees on housing increase, there is more need for low rise density such as [townhouses] to replace single detached housing.”
