    Mansion & Duplex :

    Mansion:

    1. It is a large dwelling house (usually block or flat), including luxurious facilities like yards, swimming pools, orchards, terraces, garages, walkways, rooms, halls, separate lavatories, etc.
    2. It is mostly located in the outside area of the city.

    Duplex :

    1. It is simply a multi-family home that doesn’t have a limitation on size, but it’s a house made up of two visually separate sections having a common wall.
    2. It also has two separate entrances for each unit & an apartment with portions on two floors joined by a staircase is also known as a duplex.

    Thank You.
