Most of time builders use fancy words in order to make consumer confusing while defining property type.

These are all marketing strategy and end user get fascinated. In this blog, I would like to explain different kind of residential house or residential properties.

Bungalows : This is separate house, traditionally only one story, but can be extended. You will be surprise to know that this is Indian/Hindi word meaning houses in Bengal.

Villa: It was originally used for luxurious country house of a well-to-do person but now a days know more than marketing term used for bungalows. spa villa is most hyped marketing term used by hotels.

Apartments/Flat : It is self contained housing unit which is part of building. This kind of building most often known as apartment buildings. Some people think that they is difference between apartment and flat, Yes in dictionary but in practical life there is no difference. “apartment” is more commonly used in the US and the term “flat” seems to be more commonly used in India.

Complex: This is combination of shops and residential houses. Most commonly ground floor is occupied with small shops to full-fill basic need of entire building.

Please let us know if there are other confusing word.
