Written by Cedar Woods | 10 March 2022


When looking to buy or build a new home many will choose the more traditional single storey or apartment options however here are some reasons why you should consider townhome living.


So why choose a townhome?

Townhome living is gaining popularity in Australia with many advantages including the low maintenance lifestyle and great designs on offer. Whether you’re interested in getting a foot in the market, looking to downsize from your rural property or love the idea of a vibrant new community with modern amenities - we are here to help explain the benefits of buying a townhome and the opportunities you get with townhome living here at Bushmead.

Low maintenance, lock up and leave lifestyle

Low maintenance living is a key feature of townhomes, giving you freedom and peace of mind if you are not a massive fan of gardening or just want to free up your time to spend on the things you love. Most townhomes are built to the lot boundaries to maximise the internal home area available for living. An outdoor area is also incorporated which can be used for a small garden, entertaining space or even a plunge pool! At Bushmead you can design your townhome to suit as little or as much property upkeep as you’d like.

Live surrounded by amenities

Given the lock and leave lifestyle, townhomes are generally built in great locations! At Bushmead, the idea is that the townhome lots are surrounded by all the amenities you could need.

First up is nature, the Bushmead Overwatch Townhomes are designed to overlook parks and the retained bushland. A little further than your doorstep are the bustling town centres of Midland and Guildford, which offer a choice of shopping centres, restaurants, cafes, entertainment options, recreational facilities, medical services and more. You’ll also be in easy reach of major transport routes, airports and Perth CBD which is just 16kms from Bushmead.

Great option for downsizers

Townhomes are popular with a range of buyers but particularly downsizers. This is both due to the low maintenance lifestyle and the floorplan designs on offer. Downsizers have often commented how great it is to have your full living, dining, kitchen, master, ensuite - basically your everyday living areas all on one floor! But wait there's more … being two-storey you have a whole additional level of extra bedrooms, bathrooms or activity spaces for when the family comes to visit!

Architecturally designed with clever use of space

The misconception with townhomes is that they are really small! However these days designs are well thought out to provide the space where you need it. Whether that be a laundry tucked away behind sliding doors rather than taking up a full room or extra storage under the stairs - the architects have thought of it all!

When it comes to the final choices for your townhome, you are in charge of where you want to prioritise space. We recommended discussing your floorplan options and needs with your builder to find out what is possible.

Like the idea of a townhome but looking for a bit more room?

The 8.5m Overwatch Townhomes provide a larger double-storey home set on a lot with a wider 8.5m frontage. This makes them perfect for buyers still wanting the low maintenance, lock up and leave lifestyle however offering a more spacious design than usual 6-7.5m frontage. The increased width provides room for a double garage to the front of the home and more flexibility in the floorplan to make changes.
