An apartment (American English), flat (British English) or unit (Australian English) is a self-contained housing
unit (a type of residential real estate) that occupies only part of a building, generally on a single storey. There are
many names for these overall buildings, see below. The housing tenure of apartments also varies considerably, from

tenants renting from a private landlord (see leasehold estate).

Townhouse

Renaissance townhouses in Gdańsk, Poland

A townhouse, or town house as used in North America, Asia, Australia, South Africa and parts of Europe, is a type

Duplex (building)

An over-and-under two story apartment duplex in Southeastern Pennsylvania.

A duplex house plan has two living units attached to each other, either next to each other via townhouses or above
each other like apartments[1] By contrast, a building comprising two attached units on two distinct properties is
typically considered semi-detached or twin homes but is also called a duplex in the Northeastern United States.
The term "duplex" can't be extended to three-unit and four-unit buildings, as they would be referred to with specific
terms such as triplex[2] and fourplex or quadplex/quadruplex.[3] Because of the flexibility of the term, the line between
an apartment building and a duplex is somewhat blurred, with apartment buildings tending to be bigger, while
duplexes are usually the size of a normal house.
British English usage refers simply to the number of levels within an apartment unit with duplex indicating
two storeys (traditionally this was referred to as a maisonette) and triplex for three. A semi-detached house would
never be referred to as duplex in the U.K..
In a Duplex lives entire family

A mobile home (also trailer, trailer home, house trailer, static caravan, residential caravan) is
a prefabricated structure, built in a factory on a permanently attached chassis before being transported to site (either
by being towed or on a trailer). Used as permanent homes, or for holiday or temporary accommodation, they are left
often permanently or semi-permanently in one place, but can be moved, and may be required to move from time to
time for legal reasons.
Mobile homes share the same historic origins as travel trailers, but today the two are very different in size and
furnishings, with travel trailers being used primarily as temporary or vacation homes. Behind the cosmetic work fitted
at installation to hide the base, there are strong trailer frames, axles, wheels, and tow-hitches.

Boathouse

Camp Topridge boathouse, Adirondacks, USA

A boathouse (or a boat house) is a building especially designed for the storage of boats, normally smaller craft for
sports or leisure use.[1] These are typically located on open water, such as on a river. Often the boats stored
are rowing boats. Other boats such as punts or small motor boats may also be stored.
Sometimes, a boathouse may be the headquarters of a boat club or rowing club. It may also include
a restaurant, bar,[2] and other leisure facilities,[1] perhaps for members of an associated club. Boathouses are also
sometimes modified to include living quarters for people, or the whole structure may be used as temporary or
permanent housing.
In Scandinavia, the boathouse is known as a naust, a word deriving from Old Norse naverstað. These were typically
built with stone walls and timber roofs and would be either open to the sea or provided with sturdy doors. The floors
would be a simple continuation of the beach sand or rock, or they might be dug down to permit a boat to sail into the
boathouse.
