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.

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?

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

Right, so what I mentioned are condos, since you buy them. As far as I know, you only rent flats.Originally posted by Fresno Bob View PostComment

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?
