Townhouses for Sale in Clarington

West Bowmanville is the centre of gravity. The blocks between Bowmanville Avenue and Green Road, on either side of Highway 2 and Prince William Boulevard, hold freehold rows and condominium rows from the late 1990s through the 2010s, and the newest stacked and rear-lane product sits close to Clarington Boulevard. North Bowmanville above Concession Road 3 and along Scugog Street is where the current phases are. A few older condominium rows sit east of Liberty Street near the mall. Courtice's rows follow Highway 2 from Townline Road to Courtice Road, with clusters on Trulls, Prestonvale and near the Courtice Community Complex on Nash Road. Newcastle's are along the streets north of King Avenue between Mill Street and Rudell Road, plus bungalow-style rows near the lake. Rows facing Highway 2 or backing onto the CP line north of downtown Bowmanville need a visit at rush hour and when a train passes.

A condominium row comes with a status certificate; make the offer conditional on it and read the reserve fund study, what the corporation replaces and when, any special assessment or lawsuit, and the rules on rentals, pets and parking. Rear-lane rows in the new Bowmanville and Newcastle phases are usually freehold on a parcel of tied land, with a small common-element fee for the lane and visitor parking and a much shorter certificate. A pure freehold row has no certificate, so the survey, party walls and drainage easements are what your lawyer reads. In any new phase, confirm the Tarion warranty dates, that the builder finished the lane, driveway and sod, and whether the assignment you are looking at was allowed by the builder. Everywhere, ask about parking, since many rows have one garage space and a short driveway, and check that finished basements and decks were permitted.
