It can be a starter home for those looking for an affordable way to get in the home owning market; a downsizer or empty-nester home for those needing to scale back their lifestyle; they can even be a whole but separate household where mom and dad can live in one side of the duplex, and their grown kids in the other.

The Highland’s Working Kitchen Ensures Room For All Needs
Saturday, September 04, 2021
Many have experienced the frustration of running out of room while preparing a substantial meal.
This often leads to staggering tasks, which pushes back dinnertime, or resorting to other surfaces, such as the dinner table, to mash potatoes or toss salad.
With the right work spaces, dinner preparation is more efficient and most importantly, more enjoyable.
The design of the Highland by Trico Homes will never leave the domestic chefs wanting.

Some townhomes have condo fees, others are fee simple — here’s what you need to know
Friday, July 23, 2021
Some homeowners take immense pride in caring for their home while others are perfectly happy being invoiced for home maintenance. Hence, for those considering purchasing a townhome, there are two types of ownership: fee simple and condominium.
Fee simple means the home and the land are owned outright. In a condo, the buyer owns their unit and a portion of the shared property. With fee simple, the owner is responsible for everything including the bills. With a condo, the association is responsible and all owners share expenses via a mandatory monthly fee.
