Line House: Townhome Presales – Freehold That Replace the Single-Family Home

Detached houses in Vancouver West sit well beyond most buyers’ budgets today. Line House, a new presale from Forme Development, offers a freehold alternative that still feels like a house. This boutique collection of 21 townhomes on West 54th prioritizes wide layouts, private entrances, and true land title ownership. As a result, buyers no longer have to choose between a condo and a multimillion-dollar detached lot in Oakridge.

Line House Reimagines What a Freehold Townhome Can Be

Each residence spans exceptionally wide floorplans, some over 20 feet across, a proportion rarely found in urban townhomes. Furthermore, 9-foot ceilings and oversized windows fill every home with natural light. Architect Stuart Howard designed the three-storey layouts with private entrances. So each unit lives like an individual house, not a stacked unit. Interior designer The Mill carried that philosophy inside, pairing engineered hardwood floors with king-sized bedroom proportions and spa-inspired ensuites. Additionally, custom millwork closets in select homes add the storage that detached houses typically offer.

Freehold Title Without the Single-Family Price Tag

Every home at Line House carries freehold land title, not leasehold or shared strata land. That distinction matters for buyers who want long-term equity and full control over their property. Moreover, estimated strata fees sit at just 55 cents per square foot. The building includes no shared amenity spaces to maintain, which keeps costs low. Line House also allows pets and permits rentals without restriction. Therefore, families trading up from a condo gain house-sized proportions and freehold ownership. Better still, they pay a fraction of a fully detached home’s price.

Line House Garden Homes Turn Rental Income Into Real Strategy

Beyond the single-family appeal, Line House opens a genuine investment path. Select garden-level 1-bedroom homes include lock-off suites, starting from $709,900. This layout lets an owner live in one portion while renting the other for income. Alternatively, investors can rent the entire suite, since Line House allows rentals without restriction. In fact, freehold title means that rental income builds equity in land the owner actually holds, not a leasehold interest. For multi-generational buyers, the same lock-off layout works just as well for an aging parent or adult child.

Pricing across Line House spans a range built for both first-time investors and growing families:

• 1 Bedroom Garden Homes with lock-off suites – from $709,900
• 3 Bedroom Homes – from $1,649,900
• 3.5 Bedroom + Den Homes – from $1,979,900
• 4 Bedroom Homes – from $2,519,900

Oakridge’s Location Adds Long-Term Value

Location adds another layer of value to both strategies. Line House sits within top-tier school catchments, minutes from Langara Golf Course and Queen Elizabeth Park. It also sits close to the redeveloping Oakridge Park Mall. So whether buyers plan to live in the home or rent it out, this address supports strong long-term demand.
