Do such townhouses exist? Where there aren't rules about keeping a consistent look?
So basically the BC would manage all the shared facilities but owners are otherwise free to do whatever they want - paint it, change the roof, render the exterior, etc.
I get the need for consistency in an apartment building (e.g. don't want everyone having different doors and door knobs, different coloured verandah railings etc), but I don't see how a little variation would hurt a townhouse complex. I mean you could still have guidelines, such as no pink or bright coloured houses, and you need to keep it to a certain standard so they don't fall into disrepair etc. Maybe standardize certain things like fences, letter boxes, but give owners creative freedom for the rest.
I've been wondering for a while whether such complexes exist out there.
