5 NYC townhouses for sale if you're seeking more space and privacy
This four bedroom, four and a half bath in Central Harlem is listed for $2,950,000.
New York City buyers are gravitating toward townhouses over condos and co-ops because they offer more square footage and privacy compared to most apartments—which is especially important if you’re working from home
Competition for townhouses, which are limited to begin with, has been fierce since the sales market rebounded. New signed contracts for one- to three-family townhouses increased by 217 percent in Manhattan in August, according to the most recent Elliman Report. Currently, there are only 326 townhouses listed on StreetEasy across all five boroughs. For single-family townhouses, there are just 68.
There are many perks to townhouse living. You’ll likely get private outdoor space, a basement, and you won’t pay monthly fees. But the drawbacks include maintaining the property on your own—especially when that basement floods.
