Residential types refer to the various forms of housing where people live. Common types include single-family homes, which are standalone structures designed for one family, and multi-family homes, such as duplexes or apartment buildings, which accommodate multiple families. Other types include townhouses, which are connected homes sharing walls, and condominiums, where individuals own their units but share common areas. Additionally, there are specialized residential types like mobile homes, which are transportable and often located in designated parks, and co-housing communities, where residents share resources and spaces. Each type serves different needs and lifestyles, influencing how people experience their living environments.
