  • Sidesplit - a multilevel house where the different levels are visible from the front elevation
  • Backsplit[?] - a multilevel house that appears as a bungalow from the front elevation
  • 2 storey and more
  • Townhouse[?] - also called "rowhouse". In New York, "Brownstones" are townhouses
  • Semi-detached[?] - a 2 unit townhouse, often called a "Duplex"
  • Stacked townhouse[?] - units are stacked on each other; units may be multilevel; all units have direct access from the outside
