Buying a
home is one of the most critical decisions one has to make especially when
comfort and safety are two of the top priorities to consider in to. It also
depends on how big of a family you are, or if you are only living on your own. Actually,
there are a lot of options to choose from given that real estate ventures are
currently sprouting here in the Philippines. Some of them are Rockwell condominiums and Ayala condos, to name a few. It is
important to know what you want and see if the options you have can suffice to
your needs.
Choosing
the kinds of house types is very much essential because it will give you an
idea of how you are going to arrange your home, not mentioning the number of
people who will be living in.
In order
for you to eliminate confusion, here are the following common types of houses
for you to check on and see how things will go well for you:
Bungalow
This type
of house is classically defined as a one-story building. Normally, a bungalow
type of house is often associated to the working class people or to couples who
are still starting out a new home. Also, this type of house is associated with
small square footage, thus making it quite small. Though there are also
bungalow houses available that are larger, thus making them as newer bungalows.
Generally, it does not have a basement and goes on cheaper and affordable.

Single Detached
A type of
house that is literally not attached to any building or another house and
stands on its own. It is structurally separated from neighboring houses and is
often surrounded by an open land. A bungalow or a cottage can be termed as a
single detached house as long as it is not connected to another property
through the same wall or tenement. This house is often good for a family
because you can have the place for yourselves and you can even add a carport
too!

Duplex
Often comes
in the form of a two-story house where a common wall separates two areas. A
duplex is a two-fold apartment or condominium where there are separate
entrances for the dwelling units. This type of house can also be referred to as
a semi-detached home. You can also add a carport by the side to keep your
automobiles on safety.

Townhouse
A townhouse
refers to modern type of homes that are intentionally attached side by side in
a row, thus sharing a common wall. This type of house is often located in the
same area and has the same architectural design and appearance. Also called as
row house, these houses are usually priced less than that of the single
detached households located in closed subdivisions. Most often than not, you
will be in contact with the neighborhood that you are in because the houses are
sharing a common wall that more likely separates them.

Condominium
This is
often a series of large rooms/units located in one building with amenities and
facilities provided by the developer itself. Often they go as
ready-for-occupancy, some often come as bare units for your own styling and
designing. Condominium units are often located on high-end areas such as that
of the Rockwell condominiums in
Makati. These often go quite expensive perhaps because of the overlooking location
and the ease of access the residents are going to deal with. With well-landscaped
views and architectural structure, condominiums are obviously for those with
high-end lifestyles.
