Here are 5 bits of information to know about houses and apartments when learning English using a wide range of vocabulary:

Housing refers to the construction and usage of houses or buildings for the purpose of shelter. Housing is a basic human need, and it plays a critical role in shaping the quality of life for individuals and families.

Apartments are self-contained housing units that occupy only part of a building. They are often rented and can be found in both urban and suburban areas.

Houses are single-unit residential buildings. They may range in complexity from a rudimentary hut to a complex structure of wood, masonry, concrete, or other material, outfitted with plumbing, electrical, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems.

Housing policies and programs have been developed in many countries to address issues related to affordability, quality, and availability, and to ensure that everyone has access to decent housing.

Non-market housing consists of public, social, and cooperative housing among others.
