> So what is a duplex?

A single property (usually a single building) consisting of exactly 2 housing units.

> I guess "semi-detached" would be closest but not sure?

Semi-detached is similar, but AFAIK usually refers to separate properties sharing a wall not two housing units on one property. There appear to be regional variations in both terms, though.
