A few weeks ago, I ranted about a news story that complained about cheap, ugly townhouses and held up as the townhouse "ideal," some Wallingford properties that were listed at and around $700k. I've been thinking that I should provide some more moderately priced properties as a counterpoint. There are still plenty of boring looking townhomes out there, but here are some projects where the builders have tried to add interest and individuality through design. I'm not promising that you'll love them all, but I think they deserve recognition for making an attempt at originality. A small sampling:
212 W. Boston (28066050): Plain but well finished with whimsical touches (Queen Anne)
3206 21st W (28069560): Redemption through color (Magnolia)
3624 Palatine N (28067618): Echoing the traditional details of nearby homes (Fremont)
1424 NW 64th (28067674): A modern take that gets lots of light (Ballard)
4525 4th NE (27214854): Brick & wood detailing, varied rooflines (Wallingford)
8350 28th NW (28071217): Practical but attractive live/work spaces (Ballard)
I haven't hit all the good projects in the city by a long shot. Feel free to post projects that you think have quality construction and design at a relatively (it's Seattle, after all) affordable price.

I appreciate the information on nicer yet more reasonably priced town homes. PropertyMaps has a great Google Maps mashup that lists Illinois real estate and town home properties across the nation. It's been a great help.
