Lakeview townhouses for sale

Townhouses in Lakeview are a mix of freehold rows and condominium complexes, most of them newer than the surrounding bungalows. The Stride towns on Douglas McCurdy Common near Lakeshore and Cawthra are a recent example, and there are townhouse pockets on Upper Village Drive and along Lakeshore Road East. Lakeview Village's first phase also includes townhouse blocks from builders such as Branthaven, Caivan, DECO and Opus alongside the mid-rise and high-rise sites. Before you buy, confirm whether the home is freehold, common-elements condominium or full condominium, because that decides who maintains the roof, driveway and shared lane and what the monthly fee covers. Ask about parking: many rows have a single garage plus a short driveway, and visitor parking can be limited. Check the basement for finished space or a walkout, and look at the orientation, since a south-facing rear yard here can catch lake breezes and the view toward the water.
