Below are some definitions of the different property
types in Walnut Creek which are classified as attached homes.
Link: This style of housing looks like a separate unit but
is linked underground by either a concrete wall connecting two foundations
or a steel rod stretching from foundation to foundation. These dwellings
may be a two-storey style, bungalow style, etc., but it is most important
they be identified as a link. Legal description must be checked carefully
to determine if a dwelling is a link.

contains two separate dwelling units attached each on its own lot.
May share a common wall or be separated by a garage or carport. Styles
include semi-bungalow, semi-split, and semi-two-storey.
