Chiang Mai Townhouses — The Overlooked Option That Offers More Value Than You Think

In the Chiang Mai property market, most buyers choose between condos or detached houses — but townhouses are frequently overlooked despite offering several outstanding advantages.

Townhouse vs Condo vs Detached House Comparison

2-bedroom condo: THB 2,500,000-5,000,000
3-bedroom 2-storey townhouse: THB 1,800,000-4,000,000
3-bedroom detached house: THB 3,500,000-8,000,000
Townhouses typically offer the most space per baht of the three options

Living area:
2-bedroom condo: 50-70 sqm
3-bedroom townhouse: 100-150 sqm
3-bedroom detached house: 120-200 sqm

Rental Yield:
Condo: 5-8%
Townhouse: 6-9% (often highest of the three)
Detached house: 4-7%

3. No monthly common fees in some projects
