A duplex house is a double-unit apartment style building or condominium, usually different from a house on the exterior. Duplexes are found all over Palm Coast in difefrent styles and sizes..
The word Duplex can also refer to three- and four-unit buildings, sometimes called, triplex and fourplex.
Unlike townhomes, in most areas of North America, when purchasing a duplex the entire building is purchased as a single piece of real estate, whereas a townhome is usually purchased by a single unit that is attached to other unit(s) which are owned by other homeowners.
In Palm Coast, most of the duplexes have two sides, many people will buy a duplex, live in one side and rent out the other side.
