When my husband and I began shopping for homes in บ้านมือสอง ราคาถูก earnest, our real estate agent took us to many condos and attached homes. We didn't think much of it at the time - since we live in a beach town, condominiums are fairly common. Seeing so many communities with single family attached homes, however, interested us. They were not listed as condos, because owners would not be subject to fees or covenants as they might within a condo community. It did give us pause to determine, though, if buying a single family attached house was a good idea.
An attached home is defined simply - a single-family structure that shares a common wall with another home. Where we live, we may find four such homes connected, or sometimes two. You may consider such buildings as duplexes or quadruplexes, though these terms are more often associated with rentals or condos. Regardless of how you spell it, though, the fact remains that if you buy such a place you're going to be very close to your neighbors. This is something you need to consider strongly before you commit to a mortgage.
Living in an attached home can have advantages and pitfalls. As you weigh your options, you'll have a clearer picture of whether or not such a place is right for you. Consider these points:
Attached homes typically do not have much lawn space. If you're the type who despises doing lawn work, you may find this housing option more attractive. As opposed to condo owners, attached home owners may have more leeway when it comes to landscaping and decor. It's wise, however, to check for a community covenant. Living in this type of home may grant you more security. With people close by to watch the area, you may enjoy heightened vigilance.
On the flip side:
Too much closeness may not always be a good thing. If there is one certainty in life, it's that you cannot choose your neighbors. If the people next to you like to play loud music, smoke, and party until the wee hours, you'll have a problem. Because you share a common wall with another homeowner, the risk of damage to your home may increase. If another unit catches on fire, your home may incur damage. Also, your insurance rates may vary with an attached home as opposed to a detached one.
Ultimately, you will need to decide if such a home is right for your family. We have decided to keep looking, but if you find it suits your needs make sure you go into the buy knowing everything about the home and the community.
