To address housing affordability, cities around the country are seeing the development of “middle housing,” but Tucson is not yet following the trend.
The term refers to housing that’s between traditional, single-family homes and large apartment complexes.
Homes that are duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, condos or townhouses are considered middle housing and could help struggling homebuyers get into a place of their own and start to build equity.
While the average price of single-family homes, new or used, is around $380,000, townhomes in the Tucson area sell below $300,000 and condominiums in the $225,000 range.
But they’re in short supply.
