Townhome Living Guide 

If you've started searching for townhomes for rent in Matthews, NC, you've probably noticed how different they feel from a typical apartment. There’s usually more square footage, your own front door, and a layout that unfolds across multiple floors instead of one. Matthews Square offers both traditional apartment homes and townhomes with direct-access garages, side by side. This lets you compare which one fits how you live. Here's what townhome living looks like at Matthews Square.  

What Sets a Townhome Apart 

Space and Multi-Level Layouts 

Most apartments put your kitchen, living room, and bedrooms on one level. A townhome spreads that same living across multiple floors instead, so different spaces can each have their own footprint. If you're comparing bedroom counts across both layouts, our floor plans page lists options for the apartment homes and the townhomes. 

Private Entrances and Direct-Access Garages 

Apartment living usually means a shared hallway and going past a few doors before you reach your own. Townhomes skip that step. Each townhome at Matthews Square opens through its own entrance. Residents can park inside a direct-access garage that leads straight into the home. This can be especially convenient in the cold Matthews winters or rainy days. Detached garages are also available in select cases. They can also be useful for extra storage of bikes, kayaks, and seasonal gear. 

Townhome Living Compared to Traditional Apartments 

More Room to Spread Out 

A single-level apartment is efficient, but every room also shares the same footprint. A townhome's multiple floors add finished square footage overall. Plus, it also helps give a little distance between your sleeping and living spaces. Compare bedroom counts and square footage for both on the floor plans page before you tour. 

Maintenance Handled by the On-Site Team 

In our apartments and townhomes, exterior maintenance, landscaping, and repairs are handled by the on-site team. Rent payments and maintenance requests are also handled online, any time. So, day-to-day logistics stay simple no matter which floor plan you choose.
