Missing Middle Homes are townhomes, rowhomes, and small-scale multiple-home buildings that are built in a way that enhances and complements the surrounding traditional single homes that can provide home options for first-time homebuyers, families with children, and middle-income households. These types of homes are often “missing” due to regulatory barriers such as zoning that limits the available land where these types of homes can be built.
