I know in Europe they are called flat's almost exclusively. And they always have been where I live. But in the last 2 months, some company has been placing signs everywhere that say "Flats, from $160K"..... which would indicate that they are not flats or apartments, but condos, as you don't buy apartments.

Do they call apartments "flats" near you?

In San francisco, a flat would be a unit in a multi-unit building where your floor is someone's cealing, ie one unit on top of another, instead of a duplex or townhouse where you share central walls. Condos mean that you own your individual space, but are part of a group that pays to maintain the collective building."You know what's wrong with America? If I lovingly tongue a woman's nipple in a movie, it gets an "NC-17" rating, if I chop it off with a machete, it's an "R". That's what's wrong with America, man...."--Dennis Hopper

Where I grew up, a flat is a whole floor, not a subdivision of a floor. In Texas I never hear the term.

You can buy flats as well, we did when we bought a 2 unit building with buddies of ours, we lived in the top unit, they lived in the bottom, we owned the whole building as "Tenants in common" TIC"You know what's wrong with America?
