Before you buy

What to know about townhomes in Snohomish County.

HOA reserves and special assessments

Townhome HOAs vary from well-funded to chronically deferred. Request the reserve study and meeting minutes — newer buildings especially may have underfunded reserves.

Noise and shared wall quality

Sound transmission between units varies significantly with construction quality. Visit at different times and ask about neighbor noise before committing.

Parking allocation

In dense Snohomish County townhome developments, parking is often limited. Confirm how many spaces are deeded to your unit and whether guest parking is available.

Exterior maintenance responsibilities

Understand exactly what the HOA covers vs. what's the owner's responsibility — roof, siding, windows, and decks are common points of confusion in townhome CC&Rs.
