What is Middle Housing?

Middle Housing is a term for homes that are at a middle scale between detached single-family houses and large-scale multifamily developments. 

These types are typically “house-scale”; meaning, the buildings are about the same height as detached houses. 

Middle housing provides housing choices that have been missing from the housing market for decades and will allow for more efficient use of land and more attainable workforce housing.

Examples of Middle Housing include duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, fiveplexes, sixplexes, courtyard apartments, cottage housing, stacked flats, and townhomes.
