Have You Considered Buying a Townhouse?

Have you considered a townhouse for your new home or investment property? Typically, when planning to build a home, or buy a newly built home, everyone thinks about free standing homes. However, there are huge benefits to adding townhouses into the mix. We explain why a townhouse might be the perfect home for you, and where you can find townhouses close to the CBD, still at a reasonable price point.

Why Townhouses Could Be Right For You

1. The Price

There is no denying, that due to the reduced land size which a townhouse sits on, and the clever use of space, they generally start at a lower price than standalone homes. Orbit, have reduced the pressure for a large mortgage, and created townhouse that are perfect for tight budgets where extra site costs or hidden costs are harder to work with, or people looking to save! You don’t even have to think about the landscaping complying with developer design guidelines- our friends at Orbit Homes will look after that for you.

2. The Location

If you are looking to live close to the Melbourne CBD, easily accessible via train, you will struggle with finding a house and land for under $500,000. Orbit townhouses in Werribee, only 30 km from the CBD, are perfect for anyone wanting to buy a new house, without compromising on location.

These townhouses by Orbit Homes, are located at Harpley, in Werribee. Built around the water, this is the perfect location for anyone. Werribee has plenty of great schools, public spaces such as Werribee Park, shopping and easy beach access. It is becoming harder and harder to secure new homes in Werribee, with building moving further out to areas such as Wyndham Vale and Lara, so this is a great opportunity to move into the heart of an established and booming suburb.

Checkout our checklist on finding a builder that you will love.

3. The Hard Work

Building a new home, while being an exciting experience, ultimately will consume a huge part of your life. From finding a builder, choosing a floor plan, sifting through all the paperwork from councils and banks, and dealing with hidden costs that inevitably pop up, the process can be a long one. Orbit is offering townhouses that require no hard work from you.
