We opted for the single family home for the following reasons:
- We have privacy.
- We will never hear our neighbors.
- We will never have to smell what are neighbors are having for supper.
- Homes hold their value better than condos/townhomes.
- We can slowly upgrade the house (do things like finish the basement, to add substantial value).
- I can grill.
- We can invite people over and never have to worry about being inconsiderate to our neighbors.
- No maintenance fees / common charges
After doing apartment living for the past decade I'm not regretting going the single-family route. Did I
last night when I went home, mowed the lawn and then did some work on the patio? Absolutely. But it's mine. Well, it's Wells Fargo's, but in 30 years it will be mine. And I'll never have to hear my ugly neighbors having sex again.
I'd have to disagree with your list when it comes to townhouses. I live in a townhouse and I:
- Have all the privacy I want/need.
- Never hear a peep from my neighbors.
- Have never smelled anything my neighbors are cooking.
- Have seen values in my neghborhood do quite well.
- Finished my basement and am about to do hardwood floors, etc.
- Have a patio I can grill on.
- Have had dozens of full-volume band rehersals in my basement without a complaint from my neighbors.
- Pay a maintenence fee but never have to shovel, mow, or rake and just had my parking lot and all the streets paved.

The best thing on cable is Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert making fun of cable news
