Freehold vs condo townhome: the practical difference
| Freehold town | Condo town | |
|---|---|---|
| You own | Home and the land | The unit; land is common property |
| Monthly fee | None for the dwelling (a small common-elements fee may apply) | Condo fee covering exterior and shared areas |
| Exterior upkeep | Yours — roof, windows, driveway | Handled by the corporation |
| Rules | Municipal bylaws only | Condo declaration and rules |
| Resale appeal | Broad; buyers value no fee | Appeals to lower-maintenance buyers |
Three freehold town formats at Kingshaven
- Traditional towns (Types A, B, C). Classic street-facing format with a front elevation and front-door access. 1,712 – 2,620 sq ft.
- Dual front towns. Finished frontage on two sides, so the home presents to the street on both faces rather than backing onto it.
- Rear lane / laneway towns (Types D, E). Accessed from a rear laneway, freeing the front elevation for stronger architecture and a pedestrian-first streetscape. 2,066 – 2,837 sq ft.

Frequently asked questions
- What does freehold mean for a Markham townhome?
- Freehold means you own the dwelling and the land beneath it outright, with no condominium corporation governing the home and no monthly condo fee for the dwelling. Some freehold town communities carry a modest common-elements fee for shared laneways, visitor parking or parkettes — confirm this in your agreement.
- Freehold or condo townhome — which is better in Markham?
- Freehold gives you more control and no condo fee, but you are responsible for your own roof, windows and exterior maintenance. Condo townhomes bundle exterior upkeep into a monthly fee. Buyers who plan to stay long term and want full control usually prefer freehold.
