Purchased a condo in Loudoun around 1997... should have spent the extra for a townhouse. Moved/upgraded to a Loudoun townhouse in 2001. Should have paid the extra for single-family home. Purchased/moved to a single family house in Ashburn in 2003... where, we remain. Like the area and in it for the longer term. Have a good house that we're proud of. From experience and best advice to offer-- purchase a house over a townhouse if, you can afford. There are some exceptions and comes down to making the best purchase in this housing market. Generally; a single family home purchase if, well-negotiated, will earn better equity in the long-run over a townhouse. Buy-up/buy-smart as best you can afford, to avoid buyer-remorse. We bought the lesser, and would have been better off buying more.
