What is the Missing Middle?
The Missing Middle refers to multi-unit housing types that bridge the gap between single-family homes and high-rise apartments. These include:
- Duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes (Multiplexes)
- Townhomes and rowhouses
- Courtyard apartments and low-rise multi-unit buildings
These housing options provide a middle ground in density, offering affordability, community-oriented living, and efficient land use while blending seamlessly into existing neighborhoods.
