Two level townhomes are generally less appealing to me. They sound big and cost more at 1000+ sq ft but the main living area including kitchen/living room (where you spend the majority of time) is never any bigger than what you find in a standard 1 br or 2 br condo. And the upper floor bedrooms are often tiny with lack of closets. Too much square footage is wasted on having stairs.
Some of the townhomes going up in North Van/Moodyville have decent floor plans that address these issues. They are however $1m plus.

Moodyville has larger lot sizes to work with, whereas, in East Van, you're working with a typical 33x120 lot. Stacked townhouses are pretty much going to be the norm for infill in Vancouver going forward. You'll only get larger footprint townhouses in former non-residential areas outside the inner suburbs.
