Winter Lake Circle offers several beautiful two bedroom and three baths townhomes of around 1300 ft.² in size. Many of these properties start at about $120,000 and feature gas fireplace, wood flooring, beautifully updated kitchens, and the majority of appliances included. Sonata Circle is also a great location close to schools and parks with a community pool and secured neighborhoods. These three bedroom and three bath homes are around 1300 ft.² in size and feature multi-level living with second floor master bedroom.

Savannah Quarters is a unique addition to the Pooler landscape with beautiful two-story condominiums and townhomes located just off Pooler Parkway and Interstate 16. This provides quick access to shops, markets and restaurants close by.

One of the best things about owning a townhome is the ease of maintenance. Most landscaping and exterior maintenance is handled by your Homeowners Association dues. These fees can range anywhere from $50 a month to several hundred dollars per year depending on the location and the amount of work required each month. Many communities, such as the ones listed above, offer community swimming pools, playgrounds, fitness centers and a clubhouse.

Townhomes and condos are ideal for retirees or first-time homebuyers looking to ease into the responsibility of homeownership. If any of these condos or townhomes seems like something in which you would be interested, feel free to call me anytime for a personal tour of current listings for sale.
