Freehold townhomes are usually physically similar to their condominium counterparts. What makes a freehold townhome unique is the type of ownership. Freehold townhome owners do not own, or upkeep any common elements. Therefore freehold  homeowners do not pay condominium maintenance fees. However all owners in the complex are expected to repair and maintain their distinct interest in the freehold townhome. A freehold townhome may be the right option for anyone who values the control and independence this type of ownership provides.
