Townhouse or apartment in Varennes: which one to choose?
In Varennes, the townhouse condo is a different product from the apartment: $277,500 more at the median (+83%). You are not buying a condo, you are buying a small house with condo fees: floors, a basement, a yard, parking at the door. For a first-time buyer, the apartment remains the cheaper route; for the family that cannot afford the single-family house, the townhouse is the step in between, and its seller competes with houses as much as with condos.
How to read these numbers
One median per year and per condominium type, for all of Varennes. 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.
