Why are people choosing attached living?
Why are people choosing attached living?

In today’s fast-paced world, homebuyers are rethinking what “home” really means. For many, the answer isn’t a large standalone house with endless upkeep: it’s attached living. Whether it’s a townhome or condo, attached living offers a lifestyle built around convenience, connection, and comfort. Our communities and attached living are located closer to where you want to be!

Here’s why more people are making the switch.


A Lifestyle Designed for Living: Not Maintaining

One of the biggest advantages of attached living is the lifestyle it supports. Instead of spending weekends mowing the lawn, repairing fences, or cleaning gutters, homeowners can focus on what truly matters — family time, travel, hobbies, and relaxation.

For busy professionals, growing families, and retirees alike, attached living creates space for experiences instead of chores.



Low Maintenance, High Convenience

Maintenance is one of the most underestimated costs, both financially and mentally, of homeownership. With attached living, much of the exterior maintenance is handled by a homeowners association (HOA) or property management team.

That typically includes:

  • Lawn care and landscaping

  • Snow removal

  • Roof and exterior maintenance

  • Common area upkeep

Predictable monthly dues often replace surprise repair bills, making budgeting easier and more manageable.

For those who travel frequently or own a second home, attached living offers peace of mind. Lock the door and go, without worrying about who’s mowing the grass or maintaining the property.


Built-In Community

Attached living naturally fosters a sense of community. With neighbors nearby and shared spaces, it’s easier to form connections and friendships.

Community events, shared greenspaces, clubhouses, and neighborhood gatherings create opportunities to meet others and build relationships. For many residents, this is one of the most rewarding aspects of attached living especially for:

  • First-time buyers

  • Empty nesters

  • New residents relocating to a city

There’s comfort in knowing your neighbors and feeling part of something larger than just your own home.



Amenities That Elevate Everyday Life

One of the most appealing benefits of attached living is access to amenities that might otherwise be out of reach in a single-family home.

Many of our communities include:

  • Fitness centers

  • Swimming pools

  • Clubhouses

  • Walking trails

  • Dog parks

  • Outdoor gathering areas

These features enhance daily life without the cost or responsibility of maintaining them yourself. Instead of driving across town to the gym or pool, they’re just steps from your front door.


Smart Use of Space

Attached homes are often thoughtfully designed to maximize square footage. Open floor plans, modern finishes, and energy-efficient construction provide comfortable living without wasted space.

Better optimized space also means:

  • Lower utility costs

  • Easier cleaning

  • More intentional living


Financial Benefits

Attached living can also be a more accessible entry point into desirable neighborhoods. Many of our attached communities are close to prime locations — near downtown areas, top-rated schools at a more attainable price compared to the city's median sales price. Our luxury and signature townhomes and condos are closer to where you want to be!

Additionally, shared infrastructure and maintenance costs can help stabilize long-term expenses.



But What About Single-Family Living?

Many buyers start their search thinking they need a detached home. Here is a FAQ of the most common reasons and questions about attached living:

Q: “I want privacy.”
A: Landmarks signature townhomes and condos are built with sound-insulated walls, private outdoor spaces, and thoughtful layouts that preserve personal space — often just as private as single-family homes.
Q: “I need room to grow.”
A: Today’s attached homes offer multiple bedrooms, flexible bonus spaces, and attached garages designed for real life, not just minimal living.
Q: “I don’t want HOA rules.”
A: HOAs often get a bad reputation, but they also protect property values, maintain shared spaces, and remove major responsibilities from your plate. For many homeowners, that tradeoff is well worth it.
Q: “I like having my own yard.”
A: Attached living replaces yard work with walkable neighborhoods, parks, trails, and community greenspaces giving you outdoor access without weekend maintenance.
Q: “Single-family homes feel like the next step.”
A: More buyers are realizing that attached living isn’t a step down, it’s a strategic upgrade. Less maintenance, more connection, better locations, and greater freedom.



The Bottom Line

Attached living isn’t about sacrificing space — it’s about upgrading your lifestyle.

It offers:

  • Freedom from constant maintenance

  • A stronger sense of community

  • Access to amenities

  • Smart, efficient living

  • More time for what matters most

For those seeking convenience, connection, and comfort, attached living may not just be an option — it may be the ideal choice.
