Search all townhouse listings on MLS for communities: Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, James Island, Downtown Charleston SC, Isle of Palms, John’s Island, West Ashley, Folly Beach, Kiawah, and Seabrook Islands. Townhouses and villas are really the same exact thing and in most instances so are condos. The only real difference most times is simple a legal interpretation. You’ll find that on isle resorts they will be called villas instead of condos or townhouses mainly because it sounds better.

Townhouse also known as “row house”, without getting into too much technical jargon since they are much like that of condos, the easiest way to summarize is that the owner of each unit owns the dirt/ land and liability under, in front, or behind their unit. Most often recognized by home that touches the ground and has a small front and back yard. In most instances there is still a community HOA for the neighborhood common areas upkeep, and exterior maintenance unless otherwise stated in the by laws or CCRs.
