Why A Townhome is Ideal For Your Family

At Terraces at Shepherdstown, our four-bedroom units with attached garages are ideal for families.  You’ll have enough space for everyone to have their own room, and depending on your family size, you may even be able to have a guest room, home office, or playroom.  While many love having an attached garage for parking, it can also provide valuable storage space for outdoor equipment like bikes and scooters. 

Do Townhomes Have Yards?
