21st-century townhouses and detached single-family homes

Home to far more renters than homeowners, Ayrsley’s buying options primarily consist of three-story townhouses built between the early 2000s and 2020. These two- to four-bedroom units typically feature attached garages, balconies and access to community pools and clubhouses. There are also several subdivisions of detached single-family homes from the late 1960s through the early 2000s, including bungalows, ranch-style homes, split-levels and two-story transitional designs.
