@TS, try Duplex condo - another experience

Roof leaking is a pain. Also bird and rat pest staying above ceiling are annoying to get rid of

Yup, mine is like that. but this style can only do if the house is built on a slope where the back unit entrance is higher than the front unit. So he park and enter at the back on "third floor" of the building. His unit is facing the back, interior layout also in the opposite direction from mine. For this type, top or bottom not much price difference.

different townhouses different concept. Previously I went to a friend's rented townhouse that is on flat land. He has the upper unit. both units parking in front, (1 parking each), and he got to take a staircase on the side to go up 2 floors to reach his house. from outside it's no different from a walk-up apartment. hence the upper unit price is a lot lower because it's a hassle, and because you won't have a proper entrance, your entrance is like going up to second floor shoplot. 
so if it is such a concept, I won't like to be the top one.

also plus point for being the bottom one is no need to worry about roof issues, the person above fix, yet size and car porch is similar to terrace. house also not so hot. you can enjoy the pros of a landed property with car in front of your house (no need go up and down everyday like condo)

3-storey ones are completely different concept and layout liao.

all the townhouses i know are strata title.

l see houses too expensive to live in.
Condo, I don't like living with people above and below me.
Compromise ? Between house and condo...townhouse !

What do you guys think ?

Townhouse price can be between condo & house ?
Townhouse can be priced somewhere in between the two (of course don't count in those high class townhouse or landed house lah)

u stay lower level got garden and just like landed property
just ignore the people upstairs
no "roof" above u so leaking not ur problem
plus upper level will absorb the heat for u lower level more cooling
but if u get weird upper level neighbors always throw rubbish down
or hyperactive kid running around
u will not like

u stay upper level no need worry ppl throw rubbish above u
but u need to climb stairs everyday
healthy no problem if u sick or anything dangerous
if u got kid u worry they PK

I just bought a 3 storey townhouse. Ground floor just have a store roon, second floor is living hall + kitchen + a toilet, third floor have 3 bedrooms with attached 3 bathroom. Townhouse is abit small and the parking is small too compare to double storey house but i like the layout and most importantly its affordable, better than condo.

i like stairs good for exercise.
yeah i can't stand children running above me
i am not really a gardener person anyways.
thought some townhouse have common facilities like garden ?

Practically it made no different apart from your parkings are closer to your unit as compared to condo.

The issues of noisy/smoking or other inconsiderate stuffs from bad neighbours are not gonna gone.

I’m staying at top floor and my neighbours under my unit smokes daily and BBQ from time to time. They also made stomping noises/door slammings at midnight wee hours, and yes, I can still feel it even though I’m above them.

Any affordable townhouse in Klang Valley?

I've visited one such townhouse in Hartamas.
Dia bahagi atas dan bawah. The only thing to take into account, I rasa ambik atas better kot. No need worry leaking problem, and any moving furniture noise from above unit.

Townhouse need depend on the design and developer itself...

Nowadays there is two type town house....

2 floor (each buyer one floor)

3 floor (each buyer 1.5 floor)

3 floor (each buyer one floor, dunno got such design or not)

So , you must decide properly which design you like the most
