Port Credit townhouses for sale

Townhouses give you a foothold in the village without a condo tower, and Port Credit has more of them than most lakeshore neighbourhoods thanks to two big projects. Port Credit Village, built by FRAM and Slokker on the former St. Lawrence Starch lands east of the river from the early 2000s, delivered 185 brick townhouses including 18 live-work units on streets designed to feel like a traditional village, with lanes, porches and the shops on Lakeshore at the end of the block. Brightwater, west of the river, is adding townhomes alongside its condominiums as part of a plan for about 2,995 homes. Older townhouse rows also appear north of Lakeshore. Check whether the unit is freehold, freehold with a common-elements fee for lanes and landscaping, or a full condominium; all three exist here. Look at parking, since many village towns use a rear lane garage, and ask about live-work zoning if you plan to run a business from the ground floor. Proximity to the GO station and the water sets the premium.
