Single Family Detached – Single Family
A home that contains a housing unit, which is alone and sits on its own land offering a greater degree of privacy.
Semi detached House
A house for a family that is joined to another by a common wall. It can offer many of the advantages of a single-family home and is generally less expensive than buying and maintaining.
Duplex House
Two single-family homes located one on top of another in a building. Duplexes are a housing type that has two distinct dwelling units, typically with their own individual entrances, located within a single structure, often, the owner lives in one unit and the other’s income.
Apartament
Many similar single-family houses, side by side, separated by common walls. They can be freehold, condominiums or rental units. They offer less privacy than a single-family couple but still provide a separate outdoor space. These houses can cost less to buy and maintain – but they can also be large, luxury units.
