Common Traits of a Detached Family Home

Common Traits of a Detached Family Home
  • Freestanding structure: A single-family home does not share a wall, roof or foundation with any other nearby homes. 

  • Full property ownership: You have full ownership of the house and the land that it is built on. This makes single-family homes a sound investment and offers greater control to update and renovate your property.

  • Greenspace: Detached homes can have a front yard, a backyard and even side yards. With semi-detached houses the greenspace is typically more limited. 

  • More living space: While some townhomes and rowhouses can be quite big, detached family homes generally have more interior space.
