An apartment is a self contained liveable area which is usually part of a larger building or a group of apartments. They are usually smaller than traditional houses and can contain up to three bedrooms. However apartments in this day and age are as luxurious as traditional houses. Villas are a type of apartment which are built on a single level and share a common wall with other villas. Most apartments these days are on the rental market as they are a preferred housing option for students and young adults who may not be able to buy their own home.
