Pet Owners
With patios, terraces, or ground-level entrances, townhomes can be easier for dog owners than high-rise living.
Condo Townhomes vs Freehold Townhouses in Humber Bay
The majority of townhomes in Humber Bay Shores are condominium townhomes.
This means homeowners typically enjoy services such as:
Access to building amenities, grounds, and common elements
Some utilities (depending on complex, some or all of water, heat, hydro)
Parking and storage locker maintenance
Exterior structure building insurance
Central air conditioning
Landscaping/grounds maintenance and snow removal
Garbage and recycling services
These services are covered by monthly condo maintenance fees.
In exchange, owners benefit from low-maintenance living, similar to condo apartments but with a more house-like layout.
Are There Freehold Townhouses in Humber Bay?
Yes — but fewer.
Most freehold townhouses in Humber Bay Shores are located north of Lake Shore Blvd W and west of Legion Road, in two- and three-storey styles and ranging from 1,500 to 3,500 square feet in size.
A freehold townhouse means you own the structure and the land outright, with no monthly fees and full responsibility for all maintenance, utilities, and upkeep.
Some townhouses, however, are sold as freehold with a Parcel of Tied Land (POTL). In these cases, you still own the home and the land, but there is a small monthly fee (typically around $80–$200) that contributes to the maintenance of shared elements within the community—such as private roads, landscaping, snow removal, or visitor parking areas. The fee does not cover the home itself; owners remain responsible for all utilities, maintenance, and repairs to their property.
In Humber Bay, you can find all three types of townhouses—condominium, freehold, and freehold (POTL). Because arrangements can vary between developments, it’s always important to review the listing carefully to confirm whether a POTL fee applies and what shared elements it covers.
