Moving to Southern Ontario? Relocating for jobs in London, Ontario, or St Thomas?
If you are looking for St Thomas Real Estate or housing of any kind in Southern Ontario, or maybe you are seeing jobs in London, Ontario. This area is a growing real estate market with a wide variety of housing from which to choose. Properties here fall into several types. The Single Family House which is a detached one or two storey house designed for a single family. One storey buildings are called Bungalows. The majority will have a basement, and may be either finished as a recreation room, or unfinished, which will be a space ready for you to make into rooms. Typically these single family homes will cost more than multi-family units and will generally be on a subdivision (commonly called an Estate in the UK).
The Duplex is normally a building with one unit above the other, often owned by one of the residents, who lives in one unit and rents out the other.
This one has a front door and the units share a common front hallway. Others sometimes have 4 separate front doors. Townhouses these, usually two storey, are joined to each other in the same way as Terraced houses in the UK. Because there is a wide variety of houses to choose from, take the time to check out the different styles of homes before you make your decision which to buy. There are older single storey homes on quiet streets, new homes in new subdivisions - the choice is yours! Many Real Estate Agents have "Open Houses" at the week-ends and you are welcome to take a look around these houses and stroll in the gardens.
