New EYA townhomes in DC, MD and VA
1) Be Part of a Community
Meet your neighbors while walking your dog, enjoying the community outdoor spaces or at a neighborhood get-together. Townhome community design and shared space provide ample opportunities to foster new friendships and may offer a sense of security when you have close neighbors looking out for you and your home.
2) Less Maintenance
Imagine enjoying beautifully landscaped green space without lifting a finger and spending snowy days by the fireplace instead of shoveling the sidewalk. Townhome homeowners’ associations typically take care of maintenance such as snow removal and shared green spaces.
3) Lock-and-Go Lifestyle
Spend more time with family and friends, enjoying the area’s attractions and traveling to your favorite vacation spots. New townhomes offer a lock-and-go lifestyle that allows you spend more time doing what you love.
4) More Space Without the Hassles
Want more space than a condo but not the maintenance of a single family home? Get the best of both as townhomes can offer the square footage you are looking for without the hassles of maintenance.
5) Prime Locations
Townhome communities, especially in urban areas, often provide easy access to transportation, dining, shopping and nightlife. While you may not want the maintenance of a single family home in your ideal location, a modern new townhome can place you right where you want to be.
6) Healthier Lifestyle
Studies have shown that simply climbing several flights of stairs per day may have increased health benefits, including weight loss and improved cardiovascular fitness. While townhome elevators are very useful for bringing in groceries or entertaining on the rooftop terrace, embrace the stairs for added health benefits! Plus, walkable townhome communities provide ample opportunities to walk or bike to work and ditch the car when you meet friends for dinner or evening entertainment.

7) Flex Space to Fit Your Needs
Many townhomes offer features such as optional loft levels, recreation rooms or open flex spaces. These areas may be used for when guests come to visit, as a library, home office, yoga room or more. Townhomes typically provide more flex spaces than condos and offer wider possibilities as your family's needs grow and change over time.
8) Amenities Without the Upkeep
Townhome communities often include resident amenities such as landscaped green space, children's play areas, clubhouse, fitness center, dog run, pool and more. These amenities not only offer recreation spaces without the upkeep, but also the opportunity to socialize and get to know neighbors within your community.
9) Private Garage Parking & Your Own Front Door
Many townhomes offer private garage parking where you can park in your garage and step right into your home. No need to lug groceries or heavy items through a condo building or long hallway. Townhomes also have your own private front door. When you arrive, you’re home.
10) Experience Life Within Walking Distance
Modern townhome living can provide a low maintenance lifestyle in urban locations where you can enjoy the best of life within walking distance. At EYA, this is more than just a mantra, it's a way of life that more and more homebuyers seek and it defines how and where we build our communities.
