Real Estate Term of the Day: Detached Housing
DETACHED HOUSING (aka: Detached Single Family) – residential buildings in which each dwelling unit is surrounded by freestanding walls and is generally sited on a separate lot. Contrast with attached housing (Barron’s Dictionary of Real Estate Terms)
Benefits of detached housing vs attached housing:
- Typically offers a yard & more land
- Less noise from neighbors
- More privacy from neighbors
- Potential resale value might be higher because detached housing can be more desirable
