In my opinion these townhouses look quite nice on the outside. They were built in the 70's and 80's. They are very large and spacious, especially the townhouses on the end of the rows. It seems to be a pretty pleasant area to live in, there are always kids playing outside. So I'd say this subdivision is a good choice, more so if you have kids.
