The convenience of apartments and spaciousness of free-standing homes: 5 townhomes you’ll love in Melbourne’s outer suburbs

Townhouses fuse the convenience of apartments and their upgraded amenities with the advantages of investing in a stand alone property. According to Iron Fish - a company that builds confidence from data-driven investment insights, 

“A well-built townhouse in a good location usually sees stronger rental yields than houses in the same area. For investors seeking cash flow for their property portfolio, townhouses can be an appealing option when compared to a free-standing house”

They are more inexpensive compared to free-standing residences as they hold more value for its use of land, making a promising long-term capital growth. Compared to existing properties, townhouses have low maintenance for their latest standards when it comes to comfort and entertainment.
