Apartment is a widely used real estate form in commercial real estate investment. Apartments have long been imported, which is more economical and practical than single-family villas. Apartments in early big cities were high-rise buildings, and each floor had several single-family suites, including bedroom, living room, living room, bathroom, kitchen and so on. At that time, it was mainly used by middle-income senior staff and government civil servants. Some of them are rented by Chinese and foreign businessmen and their families in hotels for a short time.

Apartment can be subdivided into townhouses, condominiums, shareholder houses (cooperative apartments) and apartments. Row houses and apartments are characterized by owning part of the property rights and use rights of houses and land, but they must be bound by the management department and pay a certain management fee; The characteristic of shareholder's house is that individuals don't own any property rights, but only own part of the equity and the right to use. Property rights belong to the company, and only shares are sold, not property rights. The characteristic of apartments is that the owners are mostly investors or investment units, and their main purpose is to collect rent.

According to the structure and types of apartments, they can be divided into small apartments, garden apartments and high-rise apartments.
