Walking show units, many buyers cannot tell semi-detached from townhouse — similar looks, similar prices. Lived in, the privacy and space gap is clear.
A semi-detached shares just one wall, leaving three sides open for parking or a small garden. A townhouse sits in a row; middle units share both side walls, open only front and back.
| Aspect | Semi-detached | Townhouse |
|---|---|---|
| Privacy | More | Less |
| Surrounding space | Has sides | Front/back only |
| Price | Slightly higher | Better value |
| Typical location | Suburban | Closer in |
Value privacy, multiple cars or greenery? Semi-detached, often for a small premium. Tight budget and want a central location? Townhouses give more space per baht. Choose by how you actually live.
