HOMES SPRING 2024
Duplexes rose in popularity in the
1920s partly because they could
blend into single-family-home
neighbourhoods that didn't want
apartment buildings. Randall
Homes continues that tradition
with various duplex models on
the market in Winnipeg, each
designed specifically for the
community they are building in.
You can find examples of how
duplexes architecturally match the
tone of the surrounding homes in
Sage Creek and RidgeWood West
and, soon, in Bison Run.
The allure of a duplex is that you
can have all the comforts of a
single-family home with less work.
Duplexes are perfect for people
looking to reduce the amount of
upkeep on a home or yard. They
also tend to have better land and
resale values than townhomes. Of
course, the most attractive aspect
of a duplex is often its affordability.
Part of a duplex's affordability
Duplexes also
accommodate living
situations that require
a delicate balance of
closeness and privacy,
such as sharing half
with elderly parents
or adult children.
