Whether you live in a townhouse or a villa, gated communities offer a great living experience. There is, however, a slight difference between townhouses and villas that comes with a more convenient living experience and a better return on investment.

It is important to know that some people misunderstand online ads by agents when promoting townhouses, and they think it is a villa. So here is the main difference between them:

Townhouses are built as group of houses adjacent to each others, while villas are independent building with private plot.

However, from an investment point of view, townhouses are relatively more affordable to buy and rent than independent villas, which makes them popular among investors, and end-users.

The important thing you need to consider here is the purpose of buying and the financial position. Because this will help you to make the right decision and achieve your goal.

For example, if you’re buying for investment proposes, then townhouses will be a great option because they are more affordable to rent compared with villas, and easier to resell in the future. This is called an exit strategy that we covered with more details in our channel.
