Duplex


A duplex is a single structure which is owned in fee with two units that share a common wall. It can be owner occupied with multiple owners dwelling in the two units, one unit rented to tenants or both units can be rented.


Townhouse


The ownership of a townhouse is a fee simple estate. Generally, a townhouse is one of a row of attached dwellings that share common walls. The term 'town home' is used in some regions. A townhouse is an individually owned attached building and the owner owns the land underneath. There are lot lines that separate the ground under the buildings even though the buildings are attached. The lots at the ends of those buildings generally contain more land. The exteriors of the buildings are owned by the townhouse owners. There may or may not be common areas set up by the developer.


To confuse the average person who is not experienced with property law, some condominiums are called townhouses. In that case the term refers to the style of the condominium buildings.
