A townhouse in Dubai is a multi-floor residential unit, typically designed in a row of identical or similar houses, connected by side walls. It offers a balance between an apartment and a villa giving more space and privacy than an apartment because of the limited development in a single project, while being more affordable than a standalone villa.
Key Features that standouts: –
- Get 2 to 5 bedrooms serving space to small and big size families
- Standard structure- ground + first floor (some with rooftop access)
- Private garden or backyard for proper engagement
- 1-2 car parking space and it can be more depending on the size of the property
- Often located in gated communities with shared amenities
