Renting a townhouse vs. an apartment

[Felix07Richerd]

Dear all,

I just had this question in mind if renting a townhouse is cheaper and better than an apartment, particularly in Canada, Toronto. I find many websites having cheaper townhouse rentals. Is there a difference in utilities expenses in the two? I need a 2 BR apartment or townhouse and my budget is $650-1400. My kids are afraid of high-rise buildings.

Seniors and others plz advise.

Thanks,

Townhouse rented an apartment to be cheaper than you might consider renting a house

you will have more space, but sometimes when you rent an apartment the utilities (gas, electricity) are already included, you need to ask that to the landlord. The cost of electricity is around 120-160 each two months, and the Gas is around 80 dollars per month (you can sign in a plan that keeps this value the same all the year).
