Townhouse or apartment in La Prairie: which one to choose?
In La Prairie, the townhouse condo commands $137,000 more than the apartment (+33%), in line with the cities tracked. The gap measures the floor area, the floors and the basement as much as the format: a townhouse is almost always a three-bedroom condo. Neither is a bargain; the right one depends on who lives in it and for how long.
How to read these numbers
One median per year and per condominium type, for all of La Prairie. The type comes from the Centris listing (townhouse condo, apartment) and says nothing about age or condition. The gap between the two measures what the market pays for the typical condo of each type, not what extra floors would add to yours. Years with fewer than 5 sales are not published. A broker evaluation settles it for one specific unit.
