Freehold vs. Condo Townhomes

In Birchcliffe-Cliffside, you will find two distinct types of townhouses. Here is how they differ:

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are townhomes in Birchcliffe-Cliffside expensive?

Townhomes here are generally more affordable than detached or semi-detached homes in the same area. They are often comparable in price to a 2-bedroom condo in downtown Toronto but offer significantly more living space and multi-level privacy.

2. Do these townhomes have backyards?

Most freehold townhomes in Birchcliffe feature private, fenced backyards. Condo townhomes often feature a terrace or patio instead of a grass yard, though some ground-level units do have small garden areas.

3. Is noise an issue with shared walls?

Modern townhomes built in the last 15 years (common in this area) have strict fire code requirements that mandate thick concrete block separation walls. This significantly reduces noise transfer compared to older semi-detached homes with lathe-and-plaster walls.

4. Where are the newest townhome developments located?

You will find clusters of newer townhomes along Clonmore Drive, Gerrard Street East, and Kingston Road. These are often "infill" projects that replaced older commercial buildings or larger lots.

5. What are the "POTL" fees I see on some listings?

Some freehold townhomes have a small monthly fee (often $100-$200) called a POTL (Parcels of Tied Land) fee. This pays for the snow removal and garbage collection on the private laneway behind the homes, even though you own the house itself.

6. Are townhomes good for families?

Yes. They typically offer 3 bedrooms and 2+ bathrooms, making them a practical choice for families who want access to Birch Cliff Public School or R.H. King Academy without the price tag of a single-family home.

7. Do they come with parking?

Almost all townhomes in Birchcliffe-Cliffside come with at least one parking space. Many feature built-in single car garages with direct access to the home, which is a huge plus during Canadian winters.

8. How fast do townhomes sell in this area?

Because they are the "entry-level" freehold option for the neighbourhood, well-priced townhomes in Birchcliffe tend to sell very quickly, often attracting first-time buyers moving out of downtown condos.
