Topping the list of home trends to watch in 2025 is a cozy, comfortable home. “Buyers aren’t just embracing small space living for affordability and sustainability; they’re leaning into the coziness of a smaller home,” says Amanda Pendleton, Zillow home trends expert.
That’s what makes modern townhouses an attractive option for young professionals, small families, retirees, and anyone seeking a cozy, well-designed home. The current trend towards smaller homes and sustainable living has further boosted this market.
Making a Great Impression

Impression Homes townhouses feature contemporary floorplans and high-quality construction for Creekshaw, a thoughtfully designed master-planned community in Royse City. Creekshaw provides homeowners with a mix of small-town charm and urban convenience. Residents enjoy amenities such as scenic hike-and-bike trails, pocket parks, a lively sports complex, and a resort-style swimming pool with a sun deck. The community is served by the highly regarded Royse City Independent School District.
It’s Personal
The trend toward smaller homes is gaining momentum for several reasons which are driven by both practical and lifestyle considerations. According to real estate experts, there has been a big demographic shift in new home buyers. Less than 20% of family formations are the traditional two married parents with kids.
Like the starter homes of yesteryear, townhouses are meeting the demand for attainable, yet upscale, housing. This is especially true when these homes are in a community like Creekshaw which scores high on walkability, landscape design, shared amenities, and community engagement. Townhouses have a smaller, more intimate layout, making each room feel connected and accessible. This creates a sense of closeness and warmth that larger homes sometimes lack.
Hygge and Well Being
The Danish concept of “hygge” emphasizes coziness, contentment, and well-being. This idea is gaining popularity worldwide. In an increasingly digital world, smaller homes and cozy spaces provide a retreat from screens and technology. People appreciate the opportunity to disconnect and enjoy a simpler, more mindful way of living. Hygge is more than just a concept; it’s a way of life that encourages contentment, comfort, and a deep appreciation for the little things.
Why It Matters
Enjoying life’s simple pleasures offers numerous benefits that can enhance overall well-being and happiness. Here are some key advantages:
- Stress Reduction
- Better Sleep
- Increased Productivity
- Physical Comfort
- Improved Relationships
Applying the concept of Hygge brings with it a sense of peace and fulfillment that enriches our everyday experiences.
Tailored to Your Needs

In the end, the appeal of a smaller home lies in its ability to cater to various lifestyles and demographics. By offering a blend of affordability, efficiency, sustainability, and adaptability, townhouses are well-suited to meet the varied needs and preferences of a wide range of individuals and families.
Ready to Downsize? Once the children move out, “empty nesters” find they no longer need the space of a larger home. The solution? A townhouse that offers a more manageable size while still offering a comfortable home. The same holds true for retirees.
Townhouses offer a practical, stylish, and community-oriented living option that resonates with the needs and preferences of young professionals. Newer townhomes come equipped with modern amenities and contemporary designs, appealing to homebuyers seeking the warm aesthetic and a functional living space.
Townhouses also appeal to small families, since they are often more affordable than single family homes, making them a more accessible option for families looking to own their property. A townhouse at Creekshaw benefits young families by offering shared amenities like playgrounds, parks, pools, and community centers. Walkable neighborhoods emphasize an active lifestyle while supporting a smaller carbon footprint. In addition, homes that are in master planned communities tend to hold their market value.
