Yeah, but especially if you work from home, you might find that you like one area more than another...the Triangle is large and though much of suburbia does look similar throughout (sorry guys), it doesn't all.
I'm actually shocked and dismayed that we have $400K townhomes here that have some iffy conditions. What is happening to the housing market here? Anyway, that's my rant and not your problem.
But if I were even considering $400K on a townhome (and I couldn't) - it would have to be pretty perfect. I don't believe you HAVE to spend that much on one here. Maybe I'm wrong, though. I hope not.
We've had $400,000 townhomes around for years.
These will be 2700SF and dressed up pretty nicely.
Just one row of them backs to the freeway.
It is a local real estate platitude, "You just need to find someone from New York, and it will sell."
Or, apparently, from California, the land of freeways.

There’s a whole development of townhomes next to me that are in the $400K range - I guess that’s cheaper than buying a more expensive house in Five Points

That's true! They're selling townhomes in my old town in Northern Virginia in the $700Ks, and they were built in the 1990's! $400K sounds downright cheap to these people. And NY and CA is even more expensive!
However, I would not buy a townhouse that backs up to a freeway for any amount of money. My favorite saying in real estate is "You can change the house, but you can't change the location."

first, hire an agent to represent you that knows the ITB area. Sometimes, there's no rhyme or reason why property values and desirability differ so much within 1/4 mile of each other.
I would buy at the Ramblewood or at Grove at Fallon Park first, before I got interested in Townes at Cheswick.

I live next to Grove at Fallon Park and I would much rather buy a $400K townhouse (if I had that money haha!) there than Townes at Cheswick. I can still get to Trader Joe's, North Hills etc... in 5-10 minutes.
