semi-detached homes

Shared-wall residences

Semi-detached homes are houses that share one wall with an adjoining property while remaining separate on the other sides.

Common in British and Canadian real estate, they offer a middle ground between detached houses and row houses: The semi-detached homes on Maple Street were built in the 1920s.

Americans more often say duplex or twin home.
