Duplexes are gaining popularity with homeowners and investors looking for premium homes suitable for families. Buyers can purchase a duplex, move into one side and make money by renting the other side. Unlike off-site landlords, a duplex owner can make repairs and maintain the property without excessive delays or travel time. Duplex builders have designed their units with families in mind, and you can examine some of the exceptional family-oriented designs in the following sections.
Richmond 50
Available in Modern and Traditional exterior styling, the two-story Richmond 50 duplex features four bedrooms and three bathrooms in each unit ideal for a growing family. The downstairs living room and family room are designed around a U-shaped kitchen, and the upstairs bedrooms are situated near a relaxing sitting area. With a one-car garage and private alfresco area, the Richmond 50 is perfect for owners and their tenants.

The Oak duplex house design has three different options: New Hampshire, Corporate and Traditional.
