Types of Homes and Property

There are many types of homes in and around Atlanta, GA and sometimes the names take on different qualities depending from what area of the country you may be coming from. Take a look at the list below and also follow this link to RealtorMag (National Association of REALTORS) for a great pictorial display of various housing styles.

• Single Family Home | A single-family home (house, or dwelling) is a building usually occupied by just one household or family, and consists of just one dwelling unit or suite.
• Detached Housing | A building not sharing an inside wall with any other house or dwelling. It has only outside walls and does not touch any other dwelling. This excludes duplexes, threeplexes, fourplexes, or linked houses (which are more properly called semi-detached) as well as all row houses.
• Condominium | A specified part of a piece of real estate (i.e. apartment house) individually owned; having access to common facilities; exterior areas (under legal rights) are associated with the individual owner, but controlled by the association of owners.
• Horse Farm | An area of land approved for housing horses, usually listed as agricultural property. A farm can be individually owned by a single individual, family or group.
• Townhome | A house on a small footprint in a city. It is a two or three floor single-family residence. The small footprint of the townhouse allows it to be within walking or mass transit distance of business.
• Mountain Home | A home in association with property in the foothills or mountains.
• Investment Property | Real estate that generates income or is otherwise intended for investment purposes rather than as a primary residence. Purchased specifically to generate profit through rental income and/or capital gains.
• Beach Property | A home in association with property near or on the beach.
