Missing middle housing

Missing middle housing refers to the range of adaptable, affordable housing types—such as duplexes, triplexes, courtyard apartments, and townhomes—that fit between single-family homes and larger apartment buildings. These options increase housing diversity and density within neighborhoods, helping to address shortages and affordability issues without drastically changing community character. By providing more choices, missing middle housing supports sustainable growth, reduces urban sprawl, and promotes vibrant, walkable communities.
