re: Would you buy a townhome?

Sure. Typically nicer townhomes are in attractive areas of cities making them future rental properties or airBNBs.
I would check any restrictions on the above before buying tho.

The nature of the common walls is really important. On very old townhouses, if the common walls are two or three bricks thick, are the bricks and mortar strong or has tuckpointing been done on both sides?
Is the common wall solid and does it extend three or four feet above the common roof line on both sides?
How impervious to sound is the wall? Does the next door neighbor have a large barking dog, screaming wife or loud children?
When were the windows last upgraded and does a management company have the ability to force you to make 'improvements'?

Loved my townhouse when I was single.

Sharing a wall with someone seems to defeat the purpose.

No because I want kids and don't want everyone to hate me when my kid cries.

No. Wouldn't buy a townhome. There are 40 new units for sale at the edge of our neighborhood in Lawrenceville, GA. Going rate on these in particular is $420,000 for three floors (1600 s.f.) and a two car garage.
Since we're moving away from Gwinnett county and over to west Georgia to be closer to the office we found a 2500 s.f. home, 2-car garage, and a full acre on a cul-de-sac with only four other homes around. Just a tad more expensive than the townhomes where I'd have a neighbor on the other side of the wall whose behavior I cannot control or predict, and Kroger shopping center within a quarter mile.
Nope. No townhome for me, thank you very much. I'm getting old fast and I hate people in general. Don't want or need anyone that close to me other than my wife and coonhound.

My town house in lafayette is the shite. Walking/biking distance from moncus, cajun field, grocery store, parades, festivals, hospitals etc. And much cheaper than a house. Every house on the row has a renter and no one bothers eachother. I'll make all my money back over 15 years of rent.

I've considered it, but it seems like the worst of all worlds.
