Manhattan Residential Real Estate - Manhattan Houses for Sale

Below are some definitions of the different property types in Manhattan 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.
