What kind of house do Japanese live in? What are the main types?

Single-family buildings, apartments, etc. Apartment. Give me some examples.

1. High-rise tower apartment in the redevelopment area

High-rise tower apartments are mostly built in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka and other areas where Japanese redevelopment is concentrated. Each apartment can accommodate more than 100 households, and there are many cases where the whole building exceeds 20 floors. The public facilities of this kind of apartment are often substantial, such as gym, coffee shop, children's activity room, library, reception area and 24-hour service desk, which can meet the daily needs of residents. Due to the difference of indoor area and layout, apartment types are common from 1LDK to 4LDK, which can meet the needs of various family types.

2. Small and medium-sized apartment with good location

Small and medium-sized apartments are mostly built in good locations in the city center, often around stations with loose building restrictions, making it very convenient for residents to travel and commute quickly. Because of convenience, this kind of apartment is very popular once it appears. However, the indoor area of this kind of apartment is generally small, which is not suitable for families with a large number of people and is more suitable for single tenants.

3. Low-rise apartments in residential areas

Due to the restrictions on building height in some residential areas in Japan, low-rise apartments will appear relatively concentrated, usually three or four floors. As it belongs to a residential area, the nearby parks and schools will be relatively rich, and more families will live with children.

4. Multi-storey duplex apartment in the suburbs

Multi-block duplex apartment refers to an apartment complex that can accommodate about 50- 100 different types of families. It is not uncommon for the total number of households in all apartments to exceed 1000. Because most of these apartments are located in the suburbs outside the city center, there will be parks, hospitals, nurseries and other infrastructure within the land.
