New townhouses in Sydney

Buying a new townhouse in Sydney

In Sydney’s established suburbs, new townhouses tend to come in small, boutique projects rather than big estates — particularly on the North Shore, in the Inner West and in the eastern suburbs, where one site might hold anywhere from a handful of homes to a few dozen.

The larger townhouse communities are in the Hills district and the south-west growth areas. The same budget buys very different homes depending on where you look, so set your price range first and then compare areas.

In NSW, shared property in a strata scheme is managed by the owners corporation. Ask for the strata budget and levies with the contract.
