Is it really convenient to live in a single building with set of families and individuals with different attitudes and living styles? Below are few of the findings that may reveal you of the available apartment types and facilities and functionalities when you reside at one. These are not detailed explanations and only cover an overview of the experience.
What are Flats? Are they any different from Apartments?
Government takes on different projects to aid the society and to improve their living standards. At times these projects tend to take up areas from the commercial cities where people could live in. Therefore all the governments do come up with housing solutions for people who like to live in commercial cities; these are normally called storied housing complexes. However this is very much like a modern apartment complexes; only difference would be the area [space allocation and dimension] that is smaller compared to the apartment complexes that are built by private contractors, real estate agencies etc.
These housing schemes most of the time consist of more than one building and they would be either numbered or separated from letters such as ‘A section’ – ‘B Section’ etc. These housing complexes are very economical and affordable and this very nature attracts people from different walks of life to these housing solutions. It is also important that you take good care of the given flat [as commonly called by the people] or the apartment so that even at reselling you’ll be able to demand a good price for it. One of the main agendas of these housing schemes are the welfare society; it is a organized unit that consist the housing scheme owners themselves concentrating on the living standards of the residents. They would look at the garbage issue that is a common problem at any apartment complex and the maintenance work etc. and to continue a good living standard and get these work function smoothly they most probably would obtain a small sum monthly from the residents.
However these housing schemes doesn’t really provide much as to other solutions such as malls or supermarkets, lifestyle solutions that would contain a gym or a children’s play area. However eventually seeing the opportunities available because of this housing schemes most of the times all required facilities tend to start up by small and medium entrepreneurs. Even small shopping complexes are constructed if the change that is bought to the area because of this housing scheme is lucrative and opportunistic. Housing scheme is always more secure, as there are many families live in a single building but at times you really can’t depend on families alone. It is a must that welfare society looks into the security of the housing scheme so that it becomes a better environment to live.
