    In Quebec, this type of house is called semi-detached. A duplex is where you have a house with an appartment on the main floor and another one above, with is own separate entry.

    Nice to know that these same kind of houses are typical in my country as well. in fact, the government offers these duplexes to pay in life long monthly installments, but with one difference, they do not have basement and no second floor. in reality, the only thing in common is the big thick wall in the middle that sets you apart from your loud neighbor.

    What surprised me is the lack of a vestibule. Every Polish house has got it - it is a small "room" between doors and house to stop gusts of winds in winter, so when you open the doors, the house does not become cold instantly. The wind stops at the doors between the vestibule and the rest of the house. The vestibule can have 2-8 m2.

    Your definition of a "Duplex" is correct according to Wikipedia, but as a Canadian, a duplex is always referred to as a single structure with a single deed to the land, one front and back yard but contains two dwellings, usually one on top of the other. A single structure with three dwellings is referred to as a Triplex. Two dwellings side-by-side, attached by a shared wall that have separate land deeds and each has their own front and back yard is referred to as a "Semi-detached" home rather than a "Detached" home that is a single building for the purpose of a single dwelling on a single lot. And to answer your other question, Yes! you can hear your neighbour through the walls of a semi-detached home. Finally, If the home your showing is located in Toronto, it's valued at about $1.3 Million.

    The prices are not that high Mark. If compared to our prices in Slovakia.
    The only difference is that we earn 600- 1000 euros a month. I guess the incomes are much pretty higher in Canada 😂

    I think if we ever own a house, the one which has space : the so-called standalone house is the best otherwise let's pay rent 😃🤣🤣🤣
