multi-family housing
Dense residential structures
Multi-family housing is residential buildings designed to accommodate multiple separate households—apartment complexes, duplexes, condominiums, and townhouses.
The term appears frequently in real estate, urban planning, and zoning discussions, often contrasted with single-family housing: The city rezoned the area for multi-family housing.
