While I am not exactly used to this particular style of renting, I think that this is actually a really great idea.  While you get all of the conveniences of a home, I have to say that the outside really looks awesome too.  Personally – I do not like the complex feel or the look of it – everyone is crammed together in one complex and there is no real personality to it.

With the apartment/house, there is a ton of personality and truly … you do get more than what you get with just one apartment.  You get a full feel of a house and even if you have always lived in an apartment – your floor will look any way that you want it to.

Really – this is a better option if you want not to buy a house but want the feel of it.

Now, when I first started in the real estate area – I had no idea that there were houses that were actually referred to and rented out as apartments.  While I have heard of duplexes, I did not realize that you could take a three story house and make it so it had kitchens on each floor and bathrooms on each floor along with bedrooms – that is what an apartment house really is.

Currently, I am living in Michigan but I am going to be relocating to the Boston area and I have to say that in Michigan – we don’t have these but Boston is full of them!  That is really all they have besides complexes.  To me – this is a fantastic idea!

These house/apartments are fantastic for people that have dogs and cats for if you are on the bottom level – you get the yard.
