Different Types of Apartments


03, December 2025

Before starting the open market season, ensure that you know what kind of apartment you're searching for. Each form of home has pros and downsides, depending on who you live with and what facilities you want.

So you've decided apartment living is for you! However, with so many options available, how can you select the best one? Don't worry, our site is here to help you navigate the fascinating world of apartment living.

Apartments are multi-story buildings with several individual living units. When compared to villas and plots, apartments are the most popular and sold properties in India. They are popular for a variety of reasons, including contemporary design, modern amenities, and improved security. Unless the buyer intends to create his own residence, apartments for sale have continuously been the most popular option. Home buyers are recommended to make a decision from the numerous possibilities available in ready-to-move-in flats after considering various factors such as money, location, and personal preferences.

  • Studio Apartment

  • Convertible Studio/Apartment

  • Garden Apartment

  • Penthouse Apartment

  • Duplex Apartment

  • High-Rise Apartment

  • Walk-Up Apartment

  • Low-Rise Apartment

  • Co-Op Apartment

Studio Apartment

A Studio apartment is a one-room living space that includes a bedroom, living room, and kitchen area. They usually have a separate, smaller room for their bathrooms. Studio apartments are recognized for their open floor plans, which provide a sense of spaciousness despite their tiny size.

Convertible Studio/Apartment

Convertible studios are another variant on studio apartments. This is a studio type apartment large enough to be turned into a one-bedroom, either by building a wall or installing a partition. While this may make the overall apartment appear smaller, it divides the space into living and sleeping areas and gives privacy.

A convertible apartment building type is similar to a one-bedroom apartment, except that it may be converted from a two-bedroom to a three-bedroom, and so on. This is particularly typical in large cities, where rent is high and people require multiple roommates to cover the cost. Before you begin any construction in your flat, speak with your building management.

Garden Apartment

A Garden apartment is a ground-floor or basement flat type house with private outdoor area. While having your own outdoor space can be extremely beneficial, these apartments may occasionally experience trouble with home security systems, insects, and moisture.

Penthouse Apartment

A Penthouse apartment is located on the top floor of a tall building, opposite a garden flat. They are linked with luxury lodgings and high rental costs; some penthouses feature private elevators that entrance directly into the flat. They are often huge and can provide incredible views.

Duplex Apartment

A Duplex is a home that is divided into two separate living spaces. They are most typically found in row houses or detached homes, but they can also be found in apartment buildings. The two units have separate entrances and are often comparable in size. The duplex units can be arranged side by side or top and bottom.

High-Rise Apartment

High-rise buildings are commonly seen in cities and have 12 or more stories. They have at least one elevator, sometimes more, to service the large number of levels and its residents. Individual high-rise apartments might vary significantly, although high-rise buildings are typically associated with more luxurious lodgings.

Walk-Up Apartment

As the name implies, a Walk-up apartment is placed in a building without an elevator. The regulations vary by location, although these structures are not particularly tall and frequently contain fewer individual units. While having to walk the stairs can be an issue for some, living in a building with fewer occupants can also be advantageous.

Low-Rise Apartment

Low-rise apartment complexes range from one to four levels. They rarely feature an elevator, but some low rise buildings with specialized access offerings do.

Co-Op Apartment

Cooperative housing, often known as a co-op, is an apartment where residents purchase shares of the entire property. In addition to mortgage payments, residents are responsible for shared costs such as maintenance and lifestyle fees if the building offers special amenities.

Condo Apartment

A Condominium or condo is a unit that is independently owned, making it more independent than a co-op. Buying a condo can be a good alternative for a full-time or part-time get away because it can be rented out when you're not using it. The condo market is very active right now.

Remember, the type of apartment isn't the only factor to consider. Think about the location, the building's features, and your budget. With resources like Homes247, you'll be sure to locate the perfect apartment to call home!
