A duplex refers to a residential structure featuring two separate homes on a single lot, sharing a common dividing wall. These dual-living residences may either share one land title and be sold together, or have separate titles and be individually owned and sold.
Duplexes gained popularity during the 1920s and 1930s, designed to mimic single-family homes and blend seamlessly into their surrounding neighborhoods. This intentional design aimed to uphold property values by maintaining a consistent streetscape. Over time, however, dual-living arrangements have evolved into a practical and cost-effective housing solution.
Dual living offers tremendous versatility with various applications. It presents an opportunity to generate passive income by residing in one unit while renting out the other. Additionally, duplexes accommodate extended family members, serving as suitable housing for elderly or disabled relatives and adult children. This setup allows for increased independence while sharing the same property.
Council regulations regarding dual occupancy vary significantly across different regions, leading to a lack of standardized block sizes, shapes, or plans applicable for approval in all locations. There is no one-size-fits-all solution for selecting the appropriate land size for a dual living development. The required land size depends on individual needs and preferences.
Typically, the minimum land area necessary for a duplex development is approximately 15 meters wide by 30 meters long, subject to specific council regulations. For area-specific recommendations, consult with your local CLIFF WATER PROPERTY office.
The cost of your duplex will depend on several features including your desired design and floor plan through to your land arrangement. There is the same amount of options that affect price as there are for building a single home house.
A detached house is different from a duplex as it only contains one dwelling under a single roof, while a duplex contains two dwellings under a single roof. A duplex will share one common wall, though each dwelling will be an entirely separate entity with their own entrances and amenities.
It is possible to own only half of a duplex, though this is dependant on if the two dwellings are on the same title or on different titles. It is only possible to buy one half of a duplex if half of the development has been subdivided into separate titles.
While a duplex provides full ownership over two dwellings on one piece of land, a townhouse allows for the purchase of a single unit within a row of similar houses that share separating walls.
