Classifications of Houses

When it comes to choosing the right home for you and your family, you will never run out of options, especially here at Imperial Homes. But of course, you have to think of what is suitable for your needs and what is right for your budget. That’s why it is very essential that you have the knowledge about all of the options that you may encounter upon looking for the ideal house property for your family.

The different house property types come in different designs, sizes, capacity, nature, and of course, the cost. To give you further information about the different popular types of house properties, check out this list.

Bungalow House

It is a one-story house, cottage or cabin. This type of house is typically small in terms of square footage. Bungalows are designed to provide affordable and modern housing for those in the working class. This kind of house normally includes a dormer window and a veranda. Some people customize it by adding a mezzanine to have more spaces for bedrooms and/or study room. This is very easy to maintain and a good deal for those who have elderly or disabled family member as far as mobility is concerned.

Single-detached Houses

This kind of house is a stand-alone residential structure that does not share any of its outside walls with another house, building or unit. It is also called a separate house or a single-detached dwelling which is one of the most ideal houses for a big family. It has a lot of advantages but can be more expensive than the other types. It is quite distant from your neighbors so you can have more privacy, thus, a larger area for you to occupy and maintain, of course. A detached house generally has no property management fees, unlike townhouses and condominiums.

Townhouse

Townhouses are sometimes called as row houses. These can be built as a single or multi-storied structured. This type of house is located in a neighborhood development connected to adjacent houses by a common wall. This kind of house is ideal for those who want a low-maintenance yet affordable housing. Normally, it includes a small yard right in front of its door.

Studio Type Apartment

A studio type apartment is a single large room that has a kitchen and a bathroom. It is basically a self-contained unit and houses everything in the single room space except for the bathroom. This kind of house is normally a large room with different areas dedicated to various uses. One corner of the room can be designated as the living area; one corner is the kitchen while the rest is for the bedroom or dining area. Also, you can use partial walls or dividers to separate these different areas.

Condominium Unit

A condominium or condo unit is a single, individually-owned housing unit in a multi-unit building. The owner has the sole title to the purchased unit but does not own the common properties like the land where the building is located as well as the elevators, halls, and roof. The unit owner pays property taxes only for his or her unit and is also entitled to pay for the mortgage, rent, or sell it just like any other personal property. It is normally smaller than any other house properties but can provide the maximum space needed by small families.

Furthermore, upon looking for a house property, regardless of what type it is, you should always look after the quality and affordability. Think of all the factors that you should consider first before buying a house, especially when it concerns the safety, security, benefits, and its unique selling points.
