detached houses
Unattached residential buildings
Detached houses are residential buildings that stand alone, not sharing walls with neighboring structures.
The term distinguishes them from semi-detached houses (sharing one wall) and terraced or row houses (sharing two).
In American English, the modifier is often unnecessary—house alone typically implies a detached structure: They moved from a condo to a house in the suburbs.
