A detached home in Ontario is a standalone residential property that does not share any walls, roof, or foundation with another dwelling. It sits on its own independent plot of land, meaning the homeowner owns both the house and the land it occupies. This type of property offers the highest degree of privacy and autonomy. Detached homes often come with a private yard, driveway, and sometimes a garage. The homeowner is solely responsible for all maintenance, repairs, and property taxes. They are typically more expensive than other housing types.
