Frequently Asked Questions
What is a duplex house plan?

What are the characteristics of a duplex home?
Duplexes feature two units in the same structure, meaning two residences share the same foundation, roof, and a firewall. They often have mirror image units, but there are also designs with unique floor plans that wrap around each other in a way that creates different layouts. Some duplexes can even look like a single-family house!
What are the advantages of duplex houses?
Duplexes are faster and more affordable to build than two single homes, so they're ideal for areas that need more housing and for families to would like to keep close and save money. Some buyers also build for themselves and rent out the other unit to help offset the mortgage. If you want a budget-friendly investment, a duplex could be exactly what you're looking for.
