2 seperate living areas under 1 roof- seperate entrances,bathrooms,bedrooms, kitchens, etc.


asmikeocsit
Usually,besides being only 2 units per building,a duplex has a front and back door.Also some have it's own hot water heater.Some have a small backyard if they are a single story.

Duplex means two rental units within a dwelling.
Triplex means three rental units, Fourplex mean four rental units, and so on.


TOMARUSH
A property that is connected by a wall that is used as 2 seperate housing units.

A duplex house is a two-unit apartment building or condominium, usually indistinguishable from a normal house on the exterior. Duplexes are especially common in the Northeastern United States and urban areas throughout the United States. Duplex can also refer to three- and four-unit buildings, the words triplex and quadruplex oftenest referring to movie theaters. The line between an apartment building and a duplex is therefore somewhat blurred, with apartment buildings tending to be bigger, while duplexes are usually the size of a normal house.
A duplex apartment is a single dwelling unit spread over two floors connected by an indoor staircase.

a duplex means it is split into two rental units

A duplex that I have seen looks like a small house that connects to another small house. Two houses on the same lot. But usually the floor plan is the same except flipped over. The floorplan you want is, for example, open the front door and here is the livingroom (same in the other unit), now turn left to get to the bedrooms (in the other unit you may have to turn right to get to the bedrooms) and so on. You get the drift now, I'm sure. In an apartment situation the floorplan may be just the same. I don't know. Happy looking!!


♥My 2 Cents♥
i dont know what a flat is,but i live in a duplex which means one building with 2 sides to live in--not true about the one door my house looks like a normal house with 2 doors out front, each side looks the same but opposite set up once inside

idontkno
it is one house that have been split up to make two house one on each side.split down the middle


shopgirl27
it is usually two regular size homes attached by a garage or something in between i rented one once i liked it better than an apartment


klcurrie77
It's basically a house that is split into two units. You will also find a fourplex which is a house that is split into 4 units. After the four units, I think it becomes an aparment complex. Not sure on that, but I think so.


jenny
a duplex is a one-family house that has been converted into 2 or more apartments.
