What is a "single-family home"?
A single-family home is a standalone house designed to be occupied by one family. It typically includes a private yard, living room, bedrooms, a kitchen, and one or more bathrooms. Unlike apartments or townhouses, a single-family home is not connected to other residences, offering more privacy and space. The property, including the house and land, is usually owned by the family that lives there. Single-family homes are commonly found in suburban or rural areas and are popular for those seeking more room and a quieter living environment.
Examples
After years of apartment living, they finally bought a single-family home in the suburbs.
The single-family home came with a large backyard where the kids could play.
