This article is about the type of housing. For other uses, see Apartment (disambiguation).
An apartment (North American English), flat (British English, Indian English, South African English)[lower-alpha 1], or unit (Australian English) is a self-contained housing unit (a type of residential real estate) that occupies 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 large-scale public housing, to owner occupancy within what is legally a condominium (strata title or commonhold), to tenants renting from a private landlord (see leasehold estate).
