While we might currently be seeing more new townhouses being built (and bought) than detached homes in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, when we look at Rockingham County's housing stock... there is a greater share of detached homes here than there are across Viriginia.

Looking at all of Rockingham County's housing stock... 73% of existing homes are detached single family homes.

In Virginia, only 61.5% of the housing stock is comprised of detached single family homes.

Many of the recently proposed new housing developments in the City and County are for townhouses and/or apartments -- so we might slowly see the figures above shift over time, but for now, we have quite a few more detached homes (proportionally) in our overall housing stock than is seen when looking at the entirety of Virginia.
