Is a Detached House Right for You? Here’s What to Consider

Homes come in all shapes and sizes, but perhaps the best known type of home is the Detached House, or Single-Family Home. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of owning a detached family home.

Let’s Start with What Is a Detached House?

A detached house is a freestanding house that sits on its own plot of land. Unlike a rowhouse, townhome or condominium, a single-family home does not share walls with any other residential dwelling unit. In addition to offering open space on all sides, detached houses usually provide some form of greenspace in most cases. This can include a front yard, a backyard and side yards. With this type of housing, you usually own the home, as well as the land that it sits on. This means that you have a bit more control over what you can do with the property. For example, with single-detached housing, you are more likely to be able to build an addition, such as a sunroom or an in-law suite
