Wohnhäuser gibt es in vielen verschiedenen Variationen. Man kann zwischen Ein- und Mehrfamilienhäusern unterscheiden. Beide Typen variieren stark in Größe und Zahl der Unterbringungen. Zwar scheint es als würde es sehr viele unterschiedliche Häusertypen geben aber viele der unten aufgelisteten Arten unterscheiden sich nur im Stil. Manche der unten aufgelisteten Begriffe sind nur in Englischsprachigen Ländern bekannt.

Semi-detached dwellings

  • Duplex: Commonly refers to two separate residences, attached side-by-side, but is sometimes used to mean stacked apartments on two different floors (particularly in urban areas such as New York and San Francisco). (See Vorlage:Here) The duplex often looks like two houses put together or as a large single home, and both legally and structurally, literally shares a wall between halves. The duplex home can appear as a single townhouse section with two different entrances, though the occasional rare duplex with a shared common entrance and entry hall have been constructed. The terms 'triplex' and 'four-plex' can refer to similar structures with three or four units, or floors if referring to apartments, and again the characteristic sharing of structural walls, as are the Vorlage:Here and Six pack forms that adapted the savings in materials and costs of a shared load bearing wall.

  • Two family home or Two family house —generic U.S. real estate term for a small apartment house or duplex house containing two dwelling units. In advertisements, Two family home is generally used properly meaning Vorlage:Here (A Double decker building plan), since real estate advertising generally will specify correctly when the two family home is a duplex house type as such are much more desirable as both rentals or purchases.

Attached dwellings / multi-unit housing

Specific terms under various United States laws dealing with fair housing, honesty in advertising and so forth have been proscribed and engender specific legal meanings. For example, under United States codes, "apartment" specifically must contain both a kitchen, bathing facilities and sleeping accommodations, or else the term may not be used. This generates an occasional difference within the English speaking world, and terms such as "Single family", "Two family", or "Three Family" building, residence, house, home, or property which are generic and convey little or no building plan (style of building) information. Such terminology is most common in the advertising and real estate markets offering leaseholds in such units or sales of such buildings.

  • Apartment: a relatively self-contained housing unit in a building which is often rented out to a one (including the head(s) of a family), or two or more people sharing a lease in a partnership, for their exclusive use. Sometimes called a flat or digs. Some locales have legal definitions of what constitutes an apartment.

In some places 'apartment' denotes a building that was built of such units, while 'flat' denotes a unit in a building built originally as a single-family house and later subdivided into a multiunit house type.-

  • Apartment building: a multi-unit dwelling made up of several (generally four or more) apartments. (Contrast with two family house and Three family
  • Apartment tower, block of flats or tower block: a high-rise apartment building
  • Barracks, a type of military housing, formerly connoting a large "open bay" with rows of bunk beds and attached bath room facilities, but in the most recent four or five decades in the United State armed forces, are most times excepting boot camps, a dormitory layout for two to four occupants. The apartment styling and extra privacy was found to aid retention of trained personnel in volunteer based professional (non-draft dependent) military branches.
  • Bedsit (Mess): A UK expression (short for bed-sitting room) for a single-roomed dwelling which usually contains very sparse furniture and is very compact in design. Literally a bed and a place to sit.
  • Condominium: a form of ownership of an individual apartment and a percentage of common areas
  • Co-op (or Housing cooperative): a form of ownership in which a non-profit corporation owns the entire apartment building or development and residents own shares in the corporation that correspond to their apartment and a percentage of common areas
  • 2-Flat, 3-Flat, and 4-Flat houses: Houses or buildings with 2, 3, or 4 flats, respectively, especially when each of the flats takes up one entire floor of the house. There is a common stairway in the front and often in the back providing access to all the flats. 2-Flats and sometimes 3-flats are common in certain older neighborhoods.
  • Garden Apartment: a building style usually characterized by two story, semi-detached buildings, each floor being a separate apartment.
  • Garden flat: a flat which is at garden (ground) level in a multilevel house or apartment building, especially in the case of Georgian and Victorian terraced housing which has been sub-divided into separate dwellings.
  • Maisonette: an apartment / flat on two levels with internal stairs, or which has its own entrance at street level.
  • Mess: A building or flat with single bedroom per tenant and shared facilities like toilets and kitchens. These are popular with students, bachelors or low wage earners in the Indian subcontinent. It is similar to the bedsit in the UK. Some variants include multiple tenants per bedroom and inclusion of a centralized maid service or cooked meals with tenancy.
  • Penthouse: The top floor of multi-story building

  • Studio apartment or bachelor apartment or efficiency apartment: a suite with a single room that doubles as living/sitting room and bedroom, with a kitchenette and bath squeezed in off to one side. The unit is designed for a single occupant or possibly a couple. Especially in Canada and South Africa, also called bachelor, or bachelorette if very small.
  • Tenement a multi-unit dwelling usually of frame construction, quite often brick veneered, made up of several (generally many more than four to six) apartments (i.e. an large apartment building) that can be up to five stories. Tenements do not generally have elevators. In the United States the connotation sometimes implies a run-down or poorly-cared-for building. It nearly always means a very large apartment building usually constructed during the late nineteenth to early twentieth century era sited in cities or company towns.
  • Loft or warehouse conversion can be an apartment building wherein part of the unit, usually consisting of the bedroom(s) and/or a second bedroom level bath is sub-divided vertically within the structurally tall bay between the structural floors of a former factory or warehouse building. The lofts created in such are locally supported by columns and bearing walls and not part of the overall original load bearing structure.
  • Garage-apartment: An apartment over a garage; if the garage is attached, the apartment will have a separate entrance from the main house.
  • Garalow: a portmateau word garage+bungalow; similar to a garage-apartment, but with the apartment and garage at the same level.
  • Mother-in-law apartment: Small apartment either at the back, in the basement, or on an upper level subdivision of the main house, usually with a separate entrance (also known as a "granny flat" in the UK, Australia and New Zealand). If it is a separate structure from the main house, it is called a 'granny cottage' or a 'doddy house.' Such Secondary suites are often efficiency or two room apartments but always have kitchen facilities (which is usually a legal requirement of any apartment).
  • four-plus-one: an large apartment building usually without an elevator that has four floors of apartments on top of parking. It was particularly popular in Chicago during the 1960s and 1970s, especially on the city's north side. (National Fire Codes in the USA and real estate law require any five story dwelling structure to have an elevator.)
  • Rooming house: a type of Single Room Occupancy building where most washing, kitchen and laundry facilities are shared between residents, which may also share a common suite of living rooms and dining room, with or without board arrangements. When board is provided (no longer common), a common dining time and schedule is imposed by the landlord who in such cases also serves as an innkeeper of sorts. In Australia and the United States, any housing accommodation with 4 or more bedrooms can be regarded as a rooming house if each bedroom is subject to individual tenancy agreements. In the U.S., rooming house lease agreements typically run for very short periods, usually week to week, or a few days at a time. Transient housing arrangements for longer term tenancies are implemented by a "rider" on a case by case basis, if local laws permit.
  • Rowhouse: (USA); also called "terraced home (USA); also called "townhouse"; ": 3 or more houses in a row sharing a "party" wall with its adjacent neighbour. In New York and Boston, "Brownstones" are rowhouses. Rowhouses are typically multiple stories. The term townhouse is currently coming into wider use in the UK, but terraced house (not "terraced home") is more common.
  • Shophouse: the name given in Southeast Asia to a terraced two to five storey urban building featuring a shop or other public activity on the street level, with residential accommodation on upper floors.
  • Six-pack: In New England (USA), this refers to a stick-built block of 6 apartments comprising (duplexed) two three story Vorlage:Heres built side by side sharing one wall, a common roof, lot, yards (lawns and gardens, if any), parking arrangements, and basement, but possessing separately metered electric, and separate hot water and heating or air conditioning. In Australia, it refers to a style of apartments that were constructed during the 1960s, 70s and early 80s, usually comprising a single, masonry-built block containing 4 to 8 walk-up apartments (though sometimes, many more), of between 2 and 3 stories in height, with car parking at the side or rear.
  • Single Room Occupancy or SRO: A studio apartment, usually occurring with a block of many similar apartments, intended for use as public housing. They may or may not have their own washing, laundry, and kitchen facilities. (In the United States, lack of kitchen facilities prevents use of the term "apartment", so such would be classified as a Vorlage:Here or hotel.
  • Terraced house: Since the late 18th century is a style of housing where (generally) identical individual houses are conjoined into rows - a line of houses which abut directly on to each other built with shared party walls between dwellings whose uniform fronts and uniform height created an ensemble that was more stylish than a "rowhouse". However this is also the UK term for a "rowhouse" regardless of whether the houses are identical or not.
  • Townhouse: also called rowhouse (US). In the UK, a townhouse is a traditional term for an upper class house in London (in contrast with country house), and is now coming into use as a term for new terraced houses, which are often three stories tall with a garage on the ground floor.
    • Stacked townhouse: Units are stacked on each other; units may be multilevel; all units have direct access from the outside.

  • Three family home or Three family house —U.S. real estate and advertising term for several configurations of apartment classed dwelling buildings including:
  • Triple decker: a three-family apartment house, usually of frame construction, in which all three apartment units are stacked on top of one another. (For additional characteristics, also see Vorlage:Here below.)

  • Two decker: a two family house consisting of stacked apartments that frequently have similar or identical floor plans. Some two deckers, usually ones starting as single family homes, have one or both floors sub-divided and are therefore three or four-family dwellings. Some have external stairways giving a totally separate entrance, and some,usually those which have been a single family house now sub-divided, are similar to the Maisonette plan but sharing a common external 'main entrance' door and lock, and a main internal hall with stairways letting to the separate apartments. (For additional characteristics, also see Vorlage:Here below.)

Multifamily home features
Vorlage:Bull2Tenants usually have some portion of the basement and/or common attic
Vorlage:Bull2Fire regulations aggressively require a separate emergency egress for all apartments under U.S. laws and national fire codes.
Vorlage:Bull2Utilities are either paid as part of the rent, or (now predominant) the units have separately provided heat, air conditioning, electric service distribution panels and meters, and sometimes (uncommonly) water metering, separating all secondary housing costs by rental unit. Common lighting may or may not be off a separate meter and circuitry in subdivided former single family dwellings.
Vorlage:Bull2leasehold documents will specify other common factors such as specific parking rights, rights to common spaces such as lawn and gardens on the premises, storage or garage (usually a detached unit, that cannot economically be converted into an additional housing unit) facilities and

details such as who has responsibility for upkeep, snow removal, lawn care, and so forth.
