A house that is attached to another house on one side, also known as a duplex, may be tagged as building=house + house=semi-detached.

Rows of houses with more than two units can be tagged with house=terraced.

Alternate tagging

As of December 2020 over 90% of uses of house=semi-detached are in Ireland.

Most mappers prefer to map this as building=semidetached_house, modifying the building tag itself.

See this OSM tag history as a curve chart which shows the development of the usage numbers of the different tags in comparison.
