Key Benefits of Building Duplex Custom Homes for Homeowners
Through our efficient and affordable build process, we help homeowners build equity while maintaining quality and value.
Rental Income and Equity Growth
With rising demand for multi-family homes and affordable housing, a duplex provides financial stability and the opportunity to grow your real estate portfolio.
Maximizing Your Land’s Potential
A duplex effectively utilizes available space, particularly in urban and suburban communities. This efficient land use aligns with Idaho’s middle housing initiatives, which offer innovative housing solutions.
Designed for Multigenerational Living
Duplexes are ideal for families whose adult children or older adults wish to live independently without being too far away. Through the duplex build, loved ones can live side by side.
Long-Term Value and Flexibility
Whether used as a primary residence, rental property, or part of a multi-family community, a duplex adapts to your needs over time.

Explore Our Custom Duplex Home Plans
A duplex’s shared wall is one of its greatest strengths. It offers cost savings, energy efficiency, and privacy when thoughtfully designed. HiLine Homes’ approach to custom homebuilding ensures each unit is sound-insulated and built with durable, high-quality materials to create peaceful, independent living spaces that stand the test of time. Below are some of our duplex home plans.
Single-Story Duplex
A single-story duplex is ideal for families who value accessibility and convenience. With all living spaces on one level, this layout is perfect for young families, aging adults, or anyone seeking easy movement between rooms.
- Our Home Plan 2400 is a thoughtfully designed, single-story duplex featuring two identical units. Each unit offers approximately 1,200 sq. ft., two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a single-car garage.
Two-Story Duplex
A two-story duplex provides additional separation between living areas and bedrooms. Through this enhanced privacy and comfort, the design maximizes the use of smaller lots without sacrificing functionality.

Understanding the Factors That Impact Duplex Construction Costs in Idaho
Building a duplex in Idaho offers a unique opportunity to homeowners and investors alike. With its affordability, efficiency, and long-term value, a duplex is a financially smart and comfortable choice for optimizing a lot’s potential and acquiring homeownership. Here are the factors that impact duplex construction costs, which can help you plan confidently.
- Energy Efficiency
Due to its shared wall, a duplex home has a natural insulation that minimizes energy loss and reduces utility costs over time.
- Lower Maintenance
With fewer exterior surfaces, the ongoing maintenance costs for siding, painting, and weatherproofing are reduced. This thoughtful design preserves the home’s quality and curb appeal.
- Budget-Friendly Design
A duplex house typically offers a lower cost per square foot than building two separate homes. Through our efficient construction process, our equity-building pathways ensure affordable pricing without compromising on craftsmanship or durability.
- Built-In Community and Connection
Duplex living naturally encourages a sense of community, making it ideal for families, retirees, or tenants who value a connected lifestyle.
