duplexes
Two-family housing units
Duplexes is the plural of duplex, a building divided into two separate living units, typically side by side or stacked vertically, each with its own entrance.
In American real estate, duplexes occupy a middle ground between single-family homes and apartment buildings, often appealing to owners who live in one unit and rent out the other.
The neighborhood has a mix of single-family homes and duplexes.
The term extends to telecommunications, where duplex refers to systems allowing simultaneous two-way transmission.
