CHOOSING YOUR IDEAL HOME

Advantages of Townhomes vs. Apartments

When people search for rental properties in Northwest Arkansas, they often look for “apartments for rent,” inadvertently excluding townhomes from their search results. At Elder Management, we offer a variety of rental options, including townhomes, apartments, duplexes, homes, and condos. We want to help potential tenants understand the differences between renting apartments and renting townhomes so they can make an informed decision.


Townhomes are typically larger than apartments, offering more space for renters to enjoy. At Elder Management, the rent for townhomes and apartments is comparable, which means you don’t have to sacrifice affordability for extra space. While apartments are a great option, townhomes offer a unique set of benefits that many renters find appealing.


Here are a few advantages of choosing a townhome over an apartment:


  • No neighbors above or below you. One of the most common complaints about apartment living is the noise from neighbors above or below. Townhomes provide more privacy and a quieter living experience.
  • Enhanced fire protection. Due to stricter insulation and building requirements, townhomes often offer additional fire protection in the walls and ceilings, providing added peace of mind.
  • Garages are typically included. Many townhomes come with attached or nearby garages, offering convenient, weather-protected parking and extra storage space.
  • More privacy and independence. Townhomes are ideal for renters seeking a more private, independent lifestyle. With no shared walls on multiple sides, they offer a greater sense of seclusion compared to apartments.


At Elder Management, we offer a wide variety of properties to suit different lifestyles and preferences—whether you’re looking for a single-family home, a duplex, a townhome, or an apartment. We understand that finding the right living space is a big decision, and we encourage our potential tenants to explore all their options in Northwest Arkansas.
