This type of home is very close to owning your own home. It is the ideal model for those looking for an easy to maintain form of living. Despite living in a community building, you still have the security of being your own master. Based on the way the floor plan is laid out, a large amount of living space is provided over one or two storeys. Costs are considerably more economical than with the single family home, as spaces such as stairs, basements, attics, gardens and technical facilities are shared between several households. This model is also easier to sell or to let. Buildings and city villas with flats are found on the boulevard Unter Linden.
