You could have one roommate or eight. Co-op Collective is the same as a shared house or apartment except food and values are generally shared among household members. Non-Shared Housing Houses are buildings that contain only one living unit. Utilities are usually not included, and yardwork is generally required. They tend to be more expensive than apartments, but offer more privacy.
Duplexes are two living units in one building, either side by side or one on top of the other.
They are similar to houses, but because of sharing a common wall there may be a bit more noise. Utilities are generally not included, and may be split between the units. Yardwork is generally required. Some of the utilities may be paid by the landlord. While it is small, there is no yardwork, and they are the cheapest option for independent living.
