A short guide to detached , terraced and semi-detached houses

Are you shopping for a property ? Whether you ’ re doing the research yourself or with the help of a real estate professional , it ’ s helpful to know the vocabulary associated with different types of homes . Here ’ s a clear and concise guide to three of the most popular home categories .

Detached single family As the name suggests , a detached single-family home is a dwelling that ’ s not attached to any other residential building . It can be a single-story , multi-story or
split-level home . It usually has a large lot and an attractive resale value .
Terraced Terraced homes are adjacent to one or more residential buildings . They often have multiple shared walls but remain single-family properties . Units connected in this way typically have the same architectural style . If several houses are joined together , they ’ re called townhouses or row houses . Depending on the type of shared wall , you could save money on your heating and cooling bills .
Semi-detached Semi-detached homes , also called duplexes , are like terraced homes but only share one common wall with one other home . A wall , garage , covered walkway or another architectural feature can connect the two homes . Semi-detached houses are economical and have all the advantages of terraced homes . However , since you only have one neighbor , they ’ re often quieter .
