Why is it called a single family home?

A single family dwelling is a unit that accommodates only one household.

What is an example of a single family home?

There are different types of single family homes: fully detached, semi-detached or row house (townhouse). While a fully detached house is freestanding, a semi-detached dwelling is connected to another unit through an adjoining wall. Meanwhile, a townhouse is part of a row of properties and is attached to bordering units on one or both sides. Although semi-detached and row houses are not standalone, they are fully separated — there is no internal access to adjacent properties and they have independent utilities, including heating, electricity and water.

What is the difference between a single family and a detached or a regular home?

A detached residence — or a regular home, as it is often referred to — is an independent residential structure or a standalone home. So, by definition, it’s a single family property.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of a single family home?

Residing in a single detached dwelling comes with a host of benefits, including lots of privacy and plenty of space inside and out (front and backyards included), as well as the freedom to build or modify the structure as you see fit. However, there are drawbacks, including higher price tags with higher down payments and closing costs. Additionally, regular maintenance and repair fall entirely under the owner’s responsibility (unless the single detached home is part of an HOA community).
