There are several townhouses and condominiums in Ballard as well as many historical single-family homes. If you're specifically looking for a townhouse there is a little bit of a difference between a condominium and a townhouse. Condos usually are accessible on the interior of a larger building and may have been converted from previous apartments. Condominiums are usually all on one floor where townhouses are multilevel and have an exterior entrance. Townhomes may also have their own private one or two car garage and feature either the garage and the ground floor or the living area on the ground floor, bedrooms on the top floor.

At any given time there are about 5 to 15 townhouses for sale in Ballard. These are usually priced from about $150,000-$900,000 based on size, condition, location and amenities. Most townhouses, especially those in Ballard do not offer any additional amenities such as a community swimming pool, fitness center or game room. However, most of these townhomes will at least offer residents a one car parking garage. In the Ballard area, condominium and townhouse are often interchangeable even though townhouse is somewhat different. All of these townhouses will usually require monthly homeowners dues as well, which can run anywhere from $100 a month to several hundred dollars a quarter.
