    Why do townhouses generally appreciate faster than apartments

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 12/28/2025
    Townhouses often appreciate faster than apartments because they come with a land component which is a finite resource. While developers can build upwards indefinitely to create more apartments land for villa communities is limited. This scarcity of land drives the underlying value of townhouses up over time. Additionally the shift in post pandemic consumer behavior towards larger living spaces and private gardens has structurally increased the demand for townhouses over high density apartment living.
