multifamily

Several units together

Multifamily describes residential buildings designed to house multiple separate households—apartment complexes, duplexes, condominiums.

The term is standard in real estate and zoning: multifamily housing, multifamily units, multifamily development.

It contrasts with single-family homes, where one household occupies the entire structure.
