When is a townhouse better than an apartment?

A townhouse works well for buyers who need extra bedrooms, dedicated parking, and possibly some outdoor space while still keeping spending more controlled than a villa purchase.
It also suits family communities built around parks, walkability, and daily amenities.
If the priority is central location, stronger liquidity, or lower operating costs, an apartment may remain the smarter option.
The decision is really about the life you want to live, not just the category of property.
