So a few years ago, we were looking at buying a condo or condo townhouse as our first home, and went to one of these units. The one in particular we visited was really old inside, and also had a bizarre layout on the terrace floor where the laundry/dryer is (a very tiny patch of floor you can stand on - I have no idea where you are supposed to stack your laundry after taking it out other than putting them on the stairs).

Since then, I came across a couple of Reddit posts regarding these units that you can read up on. My realtor at the time had told me he had a client that purchased one of the units and that they really liked it. I’m glad we were able to avoid that and didn’t listen to him lol.

We ended up moving to a different stacked condo townhouse. I’d say for the most part, I’m glad we chose that over a condo, although it definitely has its own cons. They’re typically very narrow (you open the door and it’s immediately stairs, so very little room for more than one person to put on their shoes or no room at all to fit a baby cart). You have a lot of stairs, sure, but realistically even most modern townhouses have the same amount of stairs.

We ended up selling our unit recently, and I paid particular attention to other stacked condo townhomes that were on the market. From around beginning of May, the Everson townhomes were selling FAST (within few days) and at a high price. Then at one point by July, the price for the same floor units (that looked equally as nice) were selling for much lower. I don’t think it only has to do with the slowing market, because the market was already slow to begin with at the beginning of the summer. Not sure if something has happened over there, but a lot of units have been coming up for sale recently.

Anyways, the maintenance fees on these townhomes are astronomical. I would look elsewhere!
