Apartment style living in a larger scale. Thanks to duplex homes, families can share common walls or ceilings, while maintaining separate entrances. Unit sizes vary in these multi-family homes, depending on the location and builder. A attached house can be constructed with the apartments side-by-side or on top of each other. Attached homes placed on separate lots can be known as duplex homes or semi-attached homes. This brings Calgary neighbours closer to each other.
A duplex or attached home creates a cozy environment for families and is a great investment for first time Calgary home buyers, or young couples. Families with relatives that require assisted living can also benefit from the advantages of a duplex home. Residents have a sense of community, due to the frequent interactions with their friends next-door.
Not all duplex homes are created equal: depending on the apartment floors, they can be known as triplex or quadruplex homes. Often found inside these houses is a shared staircase. Calgary duplex homes can be found in urban areas as well as upscale neighbourhoods, but there is a higher concentration of them in the inner city area.
