Mount Pleasant half duplexes have become very popular with young families and professionals seeking a detached house lifestyle. As the prices have climbed for a single detached house, the half-duplex offers a more affordable solution for those seeking 3 or more bedrooms and 1200 plus square feet; there is the added bonus of residing on beautiful tree lined streets in good school catchments. Most half duplexes can be found from East 8th Avenue south to East 22nd and from Fraser Street east to Clark Drive. The front and back duplex ranges in size from 1200 square feet to 1500 square feet; they usually have some yard space giving it a single detached house feel. There are a few side by side duplexes on larger 50 foot lots but they are rare and usually range in size from 2100 square feet to 2450 square feet.
Prices start at approximately 1.1 million dollars for a front or back half duplex on a 33-foot lot with three bedrooms and 2 ½ bathrooms.
