What Is: Apartment Buildings?
Albany has apartments available for sale and rent in apartment buildings. An apartment is a self-contained, individual housing unit, which is part of a larger building which has a number of such units. Such buildings are called apartment buildings. Other names include tower block, high-rise, apartment tower, office tower, apartment block, or block of flats. They could be either midrise or highrise buildings. Lowrises are also present. The two wealthiest urban neighborhoods in the country, the Upper East Side in New York City and Chicago's Gold Coast have a number of highrise apartment buildings.
Advantages of living in an apartment include affording housing to a greater number of people in a smaller area, proximity to commercial spaces (and offices), better security and a number of facilities available for common use for the residents.
