Finding a Home
Single Family Homes
A single-family home is a type of house that is designed for one family to live in. It usually has its own entrance, yard, and all the rooms needed for a family, such as bedrooms, a kitchen, and bathrooms. Unlike apartments or townhouses, a single-family home is not connected to other homes, giving you more privacy and space. These homes can be found in various neighborhoods, and they are often bought, but some can also be rented. Living in a single-family home can provide a comfortable and private living environment for you and your family.
Semi-Detached Homes
A semi-detached home is a type of house that shares one wall with another house, making it look like two homes joined together. Each side has its own entrance, and they usually have similar layouts and features, like bedrooms, a kitchen, and bathrooms. Semi-detached homes offer more space than an apartment while being more affordable than a single-family home. They are often found in residential neighbourhoods and provide a good option for families who want their own space but still enjoy a sense of community with their neighbours.
Buying a Home
Apartments
An apartment is a type of home that is usually part of a larger building. It can have one or more rooms, like a bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. Apartments are often rented, which means you pay money each month to live there instead of buying it. In an apartment building, there may be many different apartments on different floors, and you may share some spaces with your neighbors, like hallways or laundry rooms. Living in an apartment can be a great option for newcomers, as they often provide a convenient place to live near shops, schools, and public transportation
