Lake Cowichan Real Estate
The Lake Cowichan market skews overwhelmingly towards detached homes/cottages and vacant land. However, on occasion, a duplex will pop up on the market. These properties are located within the same established neighbourhoods as single-family homes, typically because these properties have been converted. With updated interiors for value appreciation over time, these home make for a good investment for buyers looking to accrue some extra income. Lake Cowichan's zoning laws often allow for a residential home (single family or duplex) to be built on a vacant plot of land, so it is possible that future developments or new homes may consist of duplexes.

Lake Cowichan Duplexes Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is R3 zoning?
A: A lot that has an R3 (or R-3) zoning designation is a medium-sized residential property that allows for a single-family home or a duplex. For more information about zoning laws, connect with Carly Carey today.
Q: Are some lots in Lake Cowichan zoned for duplexes only?
A: Yes. On occasion, a vacant lot or piece of land may only be zoned for a duplex, though this type of zoning is not too frequently found.
Q: Do duplexes make good starter homes?
A: A duplex might just be a great option for full-time buyers. A full duplex allows a buyer to supplement their income, if desired, and duplex properties begin at lower price points (in comparison to single-family homes). Duplexes can be a property that a family grows into, and are often located in desirable residential neighbourhoods.
