Townhome or Apartment? Choosing the Right Layout at Residences at Brookline

When you’re searching for a new home in north Charlotte, the choice isn’t always just how many bedrooms you need. At Residences at Brookline, you can choose between traditional apartments and townhome-style floor plans. Each offers a different way to live. Here’s how to decide.

Apartment Living: Simple and Efficient

Brookline’s one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments offer single-level living with open layouts, nine-foot ceilings, wood-style floors and chef-inspired kitchens with granite countertops and islands. Apartments are a great fit if you want easy upkeep and everything on one floor.

Townhome Living: More Space and Separation

Townhome floor plans give you a more house-like feel, with living and sleeping areas on separate levels. That separation is a big plus for roommates, families, or anyone who works from home and wants a little distance between the office and the rest of the house.

How to Choose

  • Choose an apartment if you prefer single-level living, want a simpler layout or are moving solo
  • Choose a townhome if you want more separation between spaces, are sharing with roommates or family, or want a more home-like feel
  • Consider your schedule: Townhomes help when household members keep different hours
  • Think about storage: Brookline also offers attached and detached garages for extra space

Features Every Home Shares

Whichever layout you choose, homes at Brookline include an in-home washer and dryer, granite countertops, generous closet space, and a private patio or balcony in most homes. Browse all floor plans to compare layouts and see the gallery for photos.

A Gated Community with Room to Unwind

Life at Brookline extends beyond your front door. The gated community includes a resort-inspired saltwater pool, a two-level clubhouse, a fitness center, an outdoor yoga and meditation court, grilling stations, two fire pits, a bocce and cornhole court, and a complimentary coffee bar.
