any recs for a small tree for my townhouse yard?
Hoping someone can give me some ideas. We live in a townhouse with a small front yard and just had a large silver maple tree removed. It was way too big for the space, and the roots were going into my neighbor's sewer pipe so it had to go. I don't know who thought it would be a good idea to plant a large maple next to a townhouse, but anyway....
The front yard looks really bare and ugly now. I want to plant another tree, but something smaller that won't grow too tall, and the roots won't take over. Any recommendations? I am in the mid-Atlantic and the front yard gets sun most of the day. TIA!

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
I have issues with the Arbor Day Foundation lists.
I'd look into:
Syringa reticulata, Chionanthus virginicus, Stewartia pseudocamillia, or Amelanchier species.

coniferous options may be weeping white white pine which can be ground cover or grow only as tall as supported. Dwarf Blue Spruce, because it goes great with every season and only grows to ten ft tall and 8 ft wide. Or the BristleCone Pine tree if you have a black thumb like me. They live a long time, grow to thirty ft, but they grow slowly so it will take an awful long time to reach that height, drought resistant and they are not prone to dying. But I think, given upon your description, the Mugo Pine is the best option. Grows to only ten ft, different varieties, "compact mounded habit", and it looks great year round.
:] hope I helped.
