Condo vs. Townhouse in Vancouver: What Makes More Sense in 2026?
The townhouse is the "Holy Grail" for young families. It offers a front door and a patio without the $2M price tag of a detached house. But is a large condo a better financial move?
The Price Gap
In 2026, townhomes command a premium. A 3-bed townhouse often costs 30-40% more than a 3-bed condo in the same area. You pay for the scarcity.
Strata Fees
Townhouses: Generally lower fees (less common area to heat/cool, no elevators/concierge). Condos: Higher fees but more amenities (gym, pool).
