Looking to buy some homes in philippines? Well what kind of house are you looking for? There are many types of housing across the world today, including in the Philippines. According to several professions, there are 3 different types of homes in philippines. These are apartments, town houses, and condominiums. Apartments and townhouses were the oldest types of homes in philippines, while condominiums have recently become very popular in the Philippines.

What is an Apartment?

Apartments can be classified into several types. There is the Studio, efficiency, bedsit, or bachelor style apartment. These all tend to be the smallest apartments with the cheapest rents in a given area which is why many Filipinos today are leaving in apartments. These kinds of apartment usually consist mainly of a large room which is the living, dining, and bedroom combined. There are usually kitchen facilities as part of this central room, but the bathroom is its own smaller separate room.

However, other than the usually small space apartments, there are also other types of apartments which are larger than the ones mentioned. The one-bedroom apartment is a type of apartment which one bedroom is separate from the rest of the apartment. Then there are two-bedroom, three-bedroom, etc. apartments. Small apartments often have only one entrance.

What is a Townhouse?

Like the apartment, townhouses are also one of the few older types of homes in philippines. In most Asian countries, townhouses are generally found in complexes. Large complexes often have high security, resort facilities such as swimming pools, gyms, parks and playground equipment. There is also a town house called the condominium townhouses. This involves the purchaser owning only the interior, while the building itself is owned by a condominium corporation.

Although townhouses are found in executive complexes, there are other townhouses in the Philippines which are found in a public urban area. These types of townhouses are usually similar to that found in the US and in Europe.

What is a Condominium?

In law, a condominium is a form of housing tenure and other real property where a specified part of a piece of real estate is individually owned while use of and access to common facilities in the piece such as hallways, heating system, elevators, exterior areas is executed under legal rights associated with the individual ownership and controlled by the association of owners that jointly represent ownership of the whole piece.

Condominiums are practically new in the Philippines, however, condominiums have started to become more and more popular in the passing years, particularly because of its benefits and advantages. For more information visit to our site at http://www.atayala.com
