Explore Lake Cowichan Half Duplexes For Sale

Half duplexes in Lake Cowichan, just like detached properties, range in style. Older properties, typically built in the 1980s and 1990s, are more traditional in style and can require some updating. New construction half duplexes are higher in price but more modern in style, and new builds do often allow some customization on the homebuyer's end—whether this be cabinetry and countertops or paint and wall colours. Properties located in the northern end of Lake Cowichan feature some spectacular views of the mountains, while older half duplexes tend to be located closer to the town center. 

Multiple bedrooms and bathrooms are a common feature, which makes these properties great vacation homes for families. Additionally, backyard entertaining space is typical of half duplexes, and is cordoned off by fencing from the attached property, providing some privacy. Necessities are just a short drive away, as is the abundance of outdoor recreation opportunities.
