What is an attached family home?

An attached family home is a type of residential property that shares a wall or common structure with one or more neighboring homes. These types of homes are typically found in urban or suburban areas where space is limited and housing is built in close proximity to one another.

Some features of an attached family home may include:

  • Shared walls or common structures with neighboring homes
  • Usually part of a larger housing complex or development
  • Often have a small yard or outdoor space that is shared with other homeowners
  • Typically have multiple levels, with bedrooms located on the upper floors
  • May have a homeowners association (HOA) that manages shared amenities and common areas
  • Can offer a sense of community and neighborhood feel due to close proximity to neighbors

Attached family homes can come in various architectural styles, such as townhouses, rowhouses, duplexes, or triplexes. These types of properties offer a more affordable housing option compared to detached single-family homes, while still providing the benefits of homeownership and shared amenities.
