Medium Density : This way forward allows for multiple dwellings to be built on a single section , such as with terraced housing . Medium Density offers many living benefits associated with detached housing , at the same time avoiding the negative perception often seen with higher density , apartment developments . There are significant benefits to both the developerowner and consumer , with the reduction in land use per house , varied housing types , location , maintenance and affordability all key drivers .
