single family homes

Standalone residential buildings

Single family homes are residential buildings designed to house one household, standing separate from neighboring structures on their own lot.

The term distinguishes them from duplexes, apartments, and townhouses.

In real estate and zoning contexts, single family homes often carry implications about neighborhood character, property values, and land use: The neighborhood is zoned exclusively for single family homes.
