8 Common Types of Apartments Nowadays

In tandem with the development of the real estate market, there is an increasing presence of various types of apartment buildings to cater to the diverse needs of customers. Below, let's explore 8 popular types of apartments today.

1. Conventional Apartments
 

Conventional apartments, or commonly known as condominiums, are the most prevalent type of apartment today, found across all segments from affordable to luxury.

Consequently, the pricing for this type of apartment varies widely, accommodating the needs and financial capabilities of a diverse range of customers.
Typically designed with a straightforward architecture, these apartments include all essential functional rooms such as living rooms, dining areas, kitchens, bathrooms, and 1-3 bedrooms, ensuring they meet the essential needs of all family members.

2. Studio Apartments​

Originating from the UK, studio apartments are suitable for singles, students, and newlywed couples.

The prices for studio apartments fall into the mid-range category, making them affordable for many individuals.

Despite their small size (25-65m2), studio apartments include all necessary functional areas such as a living room, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom, without partitions between these areas. This design helps maximize cost savings on lighting or air conditioning, providing an efficient use of space.

3. Officetel Apartments

Officetel apartments are multifunctional units that can be used as office spaces, residential areas, or hotels.

The interior of officetel apartments is arranged based on their varied purposes of use. Each officetel unit typically ranges from 20-50m2, making it suitable for small businesses, start-ups, and individuals or businesses looking for a combined workspace and overnight accommodation. This allows residents to enjoy all the amenities provided by the apartment complex, such as swimming pools, gyms, play areas, restaurants, and shopping areas.

4. Shophouse

Shophouses, or commercial apartments, are a special type of apartment usually located on the ground floor of residential complexes.

Shophouses serve as business spaces offering various services and commercial activities to meet the needs of both residents within the apartment complex and passing customers. Common business types include mini-marts, spas, gyms, cafes, restaurants, showrooms, or representative offices for companies.

Shophouse apartments are typically larger in size, strategically located, and concentrated in densely populated areas, resulting in higher prices compared to regular apartments.

5. Dual Key Apartments

Dual key apartments share a common entrance but have separate entrances inside, leading to the main room and a smaller room.

Each room in dual key apartments has complete functional areas, including a living room, kitchen, bathroom, and a separate bedroom.

The concept of dual key apartments is "2 in 1," making them suitable for multigenerational families living together or investors looking to rent out part of their apartment.

6. Penthouse

The Penthouse is an apartment located on the highest floor of a building, featuring spacious dimensions and a modern, luxurious open-space design.
Penthouses are favored for their panoramic and airy views of the city. Additionally, they are often designed with amenities such as swimming pools, gardens, and balconies to meet the high living standards of customers.

The interior of Penthouse units is adorned with high-end furniture, arranged lavishly and tastefully. This explains why Penthouses often come with sky-high prices, making them not easily accessible to everyone.

7. Duplex Apartments

Duplex apartments have a multi-story design with at least two floors within a building, connected by an internal staircase. They may be situated between various floors and are not necessarily on the top floor like Penthouses.

The advantage of duplex apartments lies in maximizing space, suitable for large families seeking a private, quiet residence with comfortable living spaces and all necessary amenities conveniently located below the residence. However, the selling price of duplex apartments is significantly higher than regular apartments.

8. Sky Villa Apartments

Sky Villas are a combination of standalone villas and apartments, creating a luxurious, upscale living space with full facilities such as swimming pools, gardens, and expansive panoramic views.

Similar to Penthouses, Sky Villas are often located on the highest floor of a building but with private entrances and elevators, ensuring absolute privacy for the residents.

In a residential project, Sky Villas are the highest-priced units due to their absolute advantages, including a sophisticated design and accompanying high-end features.
