The Growing Popularity of Duplex Homes
Duplex homes, consisting of two independent living units under one roof, have become increasingly popular in North America. Here’s why:
- Cost-Effective Living: Duplexes allow homeowners to reduce costs by sharing expenses, such as land and utility costs, while still enjoying privacy.
- Multigenerational Living: According to the National Association of Realtors, multigenerational living has risen steadily in recent years, as families seek solutions for aging parents, adult children, and extended family members. A duplex offers the perfect setup.
- Rental Income Potential: For investors or homeowners looking for passive income, one unit can be rented while the other is occupied, providing an excellent return on investment.
- Space Efficiency: Duplex homes maximize land use, which is ideal in today’s competitive real estate market, especially in urban areas.
