There are some small lot subdivisions that are detached. Here's how units in SLS' are described:

"Not your typical Condo or Townhouse: the residents of a Small-Lot home actually own the land the unit sits on. Since the [Small Lot Subdivision] ordinance does not allow for common foundations or shared, or common, walls between units, there is no Homeowners Association needed or any of the typical fees associated with condominium ownership."
