A townhouse in Ontario is a multi-story home that shares one or more walls with adjacent units, forming a row of houses. Each townhouse typically has its own private entrance and a small yard or patio. Ownership can be either "freehold," where the owner owns the unit and the land, or "condominium townhouse," where common areas are managed by a corporation for a fee. They generally offer more living space than condos and are more affordable than detached homes.
