Residential dwellings can be built in a large variety of configurations. This summarizes some of them:
- Bungalow[?] - a single story house
- Sidesplit - a multilevel house where the different levels are visible from the front elevation
- Backsplit[?] - a multilevel house that appears as a bungalow from the front elevation
- 2 storey and more
- Townhouse[?] - also called "rowhouse". In New York, "Brownstones" are townhouses
- Semi-detached[?] - a 2 unit townhouse, often called a "Duplex"
- Stacked townhouse[?] - units are stacked on each other; units may be multilevel; all units have direct access from the outside
