SingleFamilyResidence

SingleFamilyResidence is a House subtype for detached single-family homes: a freestanding residential dwelling on its own lot, designed for one household. It re-declares numberOfRooms and occupancy from Accommodation but adds nothing new. Use it for detached homes; for townhouses and row houses, use House.

The type hierarchy is Thing → Place → Accommodation → House → SingleFamilyResidence. The classification matters because financing, zoning, insurance, and MLS portals treat single-family detached homes differently from attached or multi-family housing. For the complete property walkthrough, see the House example. Replace "@type": "House" with "@type": "SingleFamilyResidence".

Common SingleFamilyResidence mistakes

Mistakes that pass validation but silently fail to earn rich results or mislead consumers walking the graph. Avoid these and your markup will be ahead of most sites in the wild.

  1. 01

    Using SingleFamilyResidence for a townhouse

    Wrong
    "@type": "SingleFamilyResidence" for an attached townhouse
    Right
    Use House for attached residential types; SingleFamilyResidence only for detached homes

    Single-family in real estate terminology specifically means detached. Townhouses share walls with neighbors and have different zoning, financing, and HOA implications.
