I’ll be explaining why duplexes are cheaper.

I’m finally writing about a thing that I have personal experience about.

I used to live in a duplex during my time in college.

Why are duplexes cheaper?

Duplexes are just a good house to live in.

There’s a reason they’re seen as better.

They’re more efficient to build.

There’s some that’s more cost-effective to build over others.

Not to mention there’s also several ways to make money off these type of homes.

What makes duplexes highly efficient to build

Duplexes are so efficient to build because of:

• Separate entrances
• soundproofing measures
• well-designed layouts that minimize shared walls and common areas

And that’s according to brookfieldresidential.com.

The stairs and railings adds architectural detail.

Because of that it makes the route to reaching the second floor much easier.

If your plan is to build one then it’s important to get professionals involved early on.

A few more of the reasons they’re so efficient are:

• you don’t have to pay condo fees
• More cost-effective
• Steady rental income
• Easier management
• Enhanced privacy
• They’re investment friendly
• Sharing a lot and foundation which includes the roof as well
