A half-duplex is one side of a two-unit building that shares a common wall with the neighboring unit. Unlike a full duplex—typically sold together as an investment—a half-duplex is purchased as a single residence, offering the privacy and space of a detached home at a more accessible price. Duplex homes, which include both side-by-side and stacked layouts, feature separate entrances and independent living spaces, making them ideal for first-time Calgary homebuyers, young couples, and families seeking multigenerational living options. These homes are commonly referred to as semi-detached, attached homes, or side by side homes. They also come in triplex or fourplex variations, depending on the number of units. Duplex properties are found throughout Calgary, with higher concentrations in inner-city areas where infill development is popular.
