detached housing
Separate single residence
Detached housing refers to residential dwellings that stand alone, not sharing walls with neighboring structures.
This distinguishes them from attached housing like townhouses, duplexes, or apartment buildings.
The term appears most often in real estate, urban planning, and census data, where housing types are categorized for statistical or zoning purposes.
The suburb consists mainly of detached housing on quarter-acre lots.
Single-family homes are the most common form of detached housing.
