The Calgary real estate market is becoming progressively more difficult to navigate with prices rising year over year. When looking for a new home, affordability and practicality are considerations at the forefront of everyone’s mind. Duplexes are becoming a more common housing option all over Calgary based on their affordability, and in some cases convenience. Duplexes are a great home option for people at many different points in life. From first-time home buyers to empty nesters and everywhere in between; there is no shortage of reasons why a duplex may be the ideal fit for your lifestyle.
For most of us, family comes first. Growing up close to family provides us with the opportunity to learn some of life’s valuable lessons such as sharing, compromise and work ethic. Most people would do anything for their family, and want to keep them close throughout life. Unfortunately for some, life has a way of stretching families apart as people grow into new opportunities and it becomes challenging to stay near your family as you may have to relocate for work, or you begin a family of your own and need a larger space to grow. Maintaining close family ties is important especially when we get older, friends can drift apart, and people begin to live their own lives. Family is always there for one another, and that’s especially true with large families.
If you’re part of a large family looking to keep close even as your family grows; purchasing both sides of a duplex could be the perfect way to live without compromise. Making it easy to keep your family close in a space large enough that everyone has privacy. Here are just some of the reasons why large families should consider purchasing a duplex.
Large families and families with close ties value every second of time spent together and as such, they want to be involved in one-another’s lives. Duplexes make it easy to stay connected. A true duplex is two full units; or two homes separated by a wall down the middle. For most home buyers, they are looking to buy a half-duplex, or one of the two units. However, for large families looking to stay close, the purchase of the entire duplex could be the perfect solution to your large, growing family’s need for space at home.
For large families looking to live together, it can be quite challenging to live in the close quarters of a single-family home. There is a continued battle for space as each family member seeks out an area to call their own. A duplex is a great solution to this problem as homeowners can actually have two homes! This means more living space, more bedrooms, more bathrooms and a more comfortable lifestyle for your large family. The grandparents could live on one side, while parents and their young kids could live right next door.
As any large family living with each other can attest, it’s tough to find enough space to live in comfortably while maintaining a sense of privacy. Luckily for any large family struggling with this issue, duplexes practically double your available rooms and space!
In a family of any size, everybody wants personal space and privacy. Unfortunately for large families, people often have to share rooms with siblings and sometimes share that space to prepare to go to work or school in the morning, or get ready for bed at night. This is not an ideal situation, and sometimes people need some alone time. Duplexes are capable of solving this problem. Instead of living in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home, purchasing a full duplex can potentially double that and provide a family with 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms!
If you’re part of a large family, tired of the lack of personal space or privacy, a duplex can resolve your space struggle and double your family’s potential living space.
As one of the more affordable housing options in the market, purchasing one unit of a duplex has become a popular trend as buyers obtain a reasonable amount of space at a lower cost than competitive home types.
Typically a large family would need more than the normal 3 bed, 2.5 bath single family home. That means they will have to spend more money, often more than they can afford, to find the home they want. Cost savings can be realized when buying an entire duplex because the total cost can be split amongst the buyers. Consider the previous example of grandparents moving in on one side, with their kids and grandchildren living on the other side. Between the adults in the young family and their parents living on the other side, the price of the duplex is split as each side pays for their own unit.
For large families looking to find the right home at the right price, duplexes prove to be a great option due to the ability to be close to one another, privacy and space as well as overall affordability.
