Definition
The definition of this type of house may vary between legal jurisdictions or statistical agencies. The definition, however, generally includes two elements:
- a single family (home, house, or residence) means the structure is maintained and used as a single occupancy unit. Although residential units share one or more walls with other residential units, it is a single family residence if it has direct access to roads or highways and does not share heating facilities, hot water appliances, or other essential amenities or services with other residential units. In some jurisdictions, allowances are made for the basement suite or the mother-in-law suite without changing the description of the "single family". It does not include, however, any short-term accommodation (hotels, motels, inns), large-scale rental accommodation (rooms or boarding houses, apartments), or condos.
Most single-family homes are built on much larger ones than the structure itself, adding an area around the house, commonly called pages in North American England or parks in English English. The garage can also be found in many places. Houses with garage fronts that are closer to the street than other parts of the house are often mockingly called muzzle houses.
Regional terminology
Terms relating to single family detached homes commonly used are single family homes (in the US and Canada), single separate residence (in Canada), separate houses (in the UK and Canada), and separate homes (in New Zealand).
In the United Kingdom, the term single family home is virtually unknown, except through the exposure of the Internet to the US media. Whereas in the US, housing is usually divided into "single-family homes", "multi-family residences", "condos/townhouses", etc., The main division of residential property in British terminology is between "home" (including "separate", " semi-detached ", and" storey "houses and bungalows) and" flats "(ie," apartments "or" condominiums "in American English).

History and distribution
In pre-industrial societies, most people live in multi-family homes for most of their lives. A child lives with their parent from birth to marriage, and then generally moves with a patrilocal or a matrilocal parent, so grandparents can help raise young children and younger generations can care for people old they are old. This type of arrangement also saves some effort and materials used for construction and, in cold climates, warming. If people have to move to a new place or are rich enough, they can build or buy a home for their own family, but this is not the norm.
The idea of ​​a nuclear family that lives apart from their family as a norm is a relatively recent development associated with rising living standards in North America and Europe during the early modern and modern era. In the New World, where land is abundant, settlement patterns are very different from adjacent European villages, which means more people live on large farms separated from their neighbors. This has resulted in cultural preferences in settler communities for privacy and space. Balancing trends are industrialization and urbanization, which has seen more and more people all over the world move into high-rise apartment blocks. In the New World, this type of densification was discontinued and reversed after the Second World War when increased car ownership and cheaper development and heating costs resulted in suburbanization instead.
Single family homes are now common in rural and suburban areas and even some urban areas throughout the New World and Europe, as well as richer enclaves in the Third World. They are most common in areas with low density and high income. For example, in Canada, according to the 2006 census, 55.3% of the population live in separate single houses but this varies substantially by region. In Montreal, Quebec, the second most populous municipality in Canada, only 7.5% of people live in single detached homes, while in Calgary, the third most populous city, 57.8% do so. Note that this includes "city limits" only populations, not wider territories.
The term "one separate family" describes how a house is built and who lives in it. It does not show size, shape, or location. Because they are not often surrounded by other buildings, the potential size of a single family home is limited only by the builder's budget and local law. They can range from cottages or small cabins or small houses on the outskirts of small towns to big houses, aristocratic estates or magnificent homes. Size in real estate ads is given in the area (square feet or square meters), or by the number of bedrooms or bathrooms/toilets. The choice in the materials used or the selected form will depend on what is common to the region's vernacular architecture, or a lasting trend in professionally designed channel housing. A traditional wooden hut and hut, wooden skeleton and wooden house of North American drywall, or a European-style concrete and stone house are all types of homes separate from one family.
Pros and cons
Single detached houses have advantages and disadvantages.
The entire space around the building is private to owners and families, and in many cases (depending on national/federal, state/provincial, and local laws), one can add to an existing home if more space is needed. They also typically have no property management fees, such as those associated with condominia and townhome. This is often considered beneficial.
Since single detached houses are usually built in places where the land is more, there are distinct cost advantages per square foot (though this varies based on many factors, such as housing stock and land availability). This is mostly due to the cheaper cost of land built homes.
For many owners, a single detached house also offers a level of privacy that is not visible in the construction of more crowded housing. The walls, floors, and ceilings are not shared with others, so the noise between dwellings is not easy to move. In addition, the level of freedom not seen in more dense developments is given to homeowners. Since the house is usually owned and not attached to other residences, the owner is free to do almost anything with interiors, from repainting to re-modeling, without disturbing others.
Another advantage is that single-family homes typically have private pages, which the owners can use and landscape as desired (and within the boundaries of the homeowners' associations). Families with children can also find this advantageous, since neighboring children can play together privately (as opposed to public parks, whose maintenance, or lack, is determined by local governing bodies).
However, all maintenance and repair costs - interior, exterior, and everything in between - are at the expense of the owner. Facilities such as swimming pools and playgrounds are usually non-existent, unless built at a personal cost, or if a city playground is available. The cost of landscaping and lawn maintenance is at the expense of the owner.
From an environmental point of view, single-family homes tend to require more energy to heat in cold weather than buildings with shared walls, due to the very high surface-to-volume ratio. In rich countries, people living in single-family homes are more likely to own and use private cars than walking, cycling, or using public transport for commuting. The low housing density leads to less frequent bus services and longer distances to leave, leading to increased use of cars. This makes the single family home part of a more energy-intensive and carbon-intensive lifestyle. The low density nature of this type of housing requires the use of more land that can be used for agriculture or as a natural habitat.
The urban environment in large cities tends to be densely populated and without significant space for homes intended for one family only. In contrast, the out-of-town districts are typically transitional regions of equal parts of smaller apartment buildings and single detached houses.
Culturally, a single family home is associated with suburbanization in many parts of the world. Having a house with yard and "white picket fence" is seen as a key component of "American dream" (which also exists with variations in other parts of the world). Single family homes can also be associated with gated communities, especially in developing countries (eg Alphaville, SÃÆ' Â £ o Paulo).
Splitting house type
Home type includes:
- Cottage, small house. In the US, a cottage usually has four main rooms, two on either side of the central corridor. It is common to find a slim place to add to the back of the cottage that can accommodate the kitchen, laundry and bathroom. In Australia, it is common for a cottage to have a veranda in front of it. In England and Ireland, every small, old house (especially before World War I) in rural or formerly rural locations with either one, two or (rarely) three floors is a cottage.
- Bungalow, in American English this term describes a medium to large freestanding house in a generous block on the outskirts of town, with generally a more formal floor plan than a villa. Some rooms in a bungalow usually have a door that connects them together. The bungalows may have flat roofs. In English English refers to a one-story house (less common in the UK than the US).
- Villa, a term derived from Roman times, when used to refer to a large house that might retreat to the country. At the end of the 20th and early 20th century, villa suggests a comfortable, stand-alone mansion, on a large block, commonly found on the outskirts of the city. In Victorian terraced housing, the villa is a larger house than an average terraced house with a terrace, often having a double frontage.
- The mansion, a very large and luxurious house, is usually associated with extraordinary wealth or aristocracy, usually more than one story, in very large land or land.
Houses usually have more rooms and bedrooms than single-family homes, including special rooms, such as libraries, study rooms, conservatories, theaters, greenhouses, infinity pools, bowling alleys and server rooms.
Many residences are too big to be self-managed by the owner, and therefore there will be maintenance staff. This staff can also stay on site in 'maid room'.
