What Are Urban Towns? A Plain-English Explainer

What 'urban towns' means in the GTA: stacked and back-to-back layouts, condominium ownership and who the format suits.

The short answer

Urban towns are compact, modern townhomes, usually condominium-owned, arranged in blocks with shared lanes and landscaping. They offer a private entrance and multi-level living at a lower entry price than most freehold homes.

Common layouts

• Back-to-back towns share a rear wall as well as side walls.
• Stacked towns place one home above another, each with its own entrance.
• Row-style urban towns are side by side, often with a rooftop terrace or balcony.

Who they suit

First-time buyers, downsizers and anyone who wants a house-style entrance without full exterior upkeep.
