A duplex is a residential building that contains two homes one one lot that share a common dividing wall. The dual living homes will either exist on one land title and be owned and sold together, or exist on separate titles and be individually owned and sold.
Duplexes rose in popularity during the 1920’s and 1930’s and were designed to resemble a single-family house and blend into the streets they were being built in. This was a conscious strategy by city planners aimed at maintaining property values by giving the street a consistent appearance. Since then however, dual living has evolved into a cost effective and practical housing solution.
A dual living solution can be the best option for your home design as it is incredibly versatile with plenty of applications. They can provide a great opportunity to earn a passive income by living on one side of the duplex while renting out the other.
They are also a great option for extended family members, providing a great housing solution for elderly or disabled relatives as well as adult children. Duplexes allow for increased independence while still living on the same property.
Council requirements for dual occupancy vary greatly in different areas, meaning there is no standard block size, shape or plan that will guarantee approval across all locations. There is no one size fits all choice for choosing the right land size for your dual living development. The necessary size is contingent on your own needs and what you are looking for in your home.
However, typically the minimum amount of land required for a duplex development is around 15 metres wide by 30 metres long, pending individual council regulations. Talk to your local Xin Rong office for area specific recommendations.
