Check your Homeowner Association by laws or any Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions. This should describe what the Association is responsible and what the unit owner is responsible for: your governing documents define the line of ownership between what a unit owner owns and what the association owns.

In all probability, the association owns the area between the townhouse shared walls, since that's where the Plumbing, electricity, soundproofing, and insulation are generally located.

Generally, there are reciprocal easements that allow for any repairs or improvements that must be done from either side. Rights and obligations are also addressed in such instruments as Homeowner Association Rules and Regulations and Declarations of Restrictive Covenants.

How do you soundproof a shared wall in a townhouse?

Soundproofing a shared wall in a townhouse is very easy to do and the good news is that you can do it without disturbing your neighbors or inconveniencing them. The easiest method is to purchase some Green Glue damping compound. You'll apply it to your existing walls (no sanding or scraping needed), apply a new layer of drywall right over top, seal the seams with acoustical caulk, and then refinish your walls. The Green Glue will absorb sound before it can penetrate the wall and you'll never hear your neighbors again.


How are townhouses different from condominiums and apartments?

A townhouse can be an apartment--from a living perspective, it is defined as a dwelling which is attached to the adjacent properties and which has two or more stories. From an ownership perspective, a townhouse differs from a condominium in that the owner of a townhouse owns their building and the land underneath it while a condo owner owns the airspace between the demising walls of their property and then a shared interest in the rest of the property (i.e., if a development has 60 condo units, everyone owns their airspace and then 1/60th of the total property). In general, townhouses only have neighboring units on the sides have no other units above, below or behind them. Quite frequently, townhouses also come with front or back yards. Apartments and condominiums normally do not have yards and often have neighboring units on all sides except.

Does a townhouse own the land beneath it whereas a condominium owners own only the unit plus a part of shared common grounds and amenities?

Yes, typically the extent of the actual land owned in each is different.Generally, a townhouse is one of a row of attached dwellings that share common side walls. Therefore, a townhouse is an individually owned building attached in a row with other individually owned buildings. Each townhouse owner owns the land beneath that unit. To confuse the issue of townhouses, some condominiums are called townhouse condominiums. In that case the term refers to the style of the condominium buildings.A condominium unit owner owns a unit and a proportionate interest in all the land beneath the condominium community and the common areas based on the size of their unit. All the interests of all the unit owners would add up to 100%. That interest is expressed as, “Unit 201 including a .0987 percent interest in the common areas”.
