Hi Guys,

I'm confuse....how do I differentiate an apartment and flat?

Please enlighten me

er, for me.

Flat is Airasia
Apartment is Airasia premium

i think no different...

in london everyone call flat.

in malaysian people call it apartment

same thing. just some ppl call differently.

However, in Malaysia :

flat = cheap
apartment = decent
condominium = expensive

apartment sounds more expensive than flat.
But they are actually the same.

It's the same anyway, under Plan Submission,

known as "Rumahpangsa Sederhana/Rendah/Sederhana Rendah/Mewah"

Facilities maybe? Swimming pool, sauna, etc.

u know, kopi susu and cuppacino? what is the difference?

For Apartment and Condominium, YES.

Apartment usually doesn't come with any Facilities but Condominium usually has all the kind of Facilities

kopi susu is coffee usually non arabica with milk
cappucino is espresso coffee with half milk half foam
that's the difference

Oh sorry i misread the thread title. I thought its apartment vs condo. Just from my observation, flats usually got burger ramly stall in front of it.

flat has no balcony < rule 1.

I have been to some low cost flats by DBKL which have balcony.

if its not stretched out, then its not really a balcony.. if its really, then... wait.. its DBKL

Good one.

Some time ago I owned a walkup apartment which has swimming pools.

It's 100% balcony !

Apartment:
Gated
Allocated parking
at least 2 bathroom/toilet

Flat:
Free-for-all parking
single bathroom/toilet

studio apartment only 1 toilet and sometime no parking allocated.

Flat got balcony, but at rear part, so that they can hang their shirt and panties while water dripping at pedestrian head or lower floor. Look at wangsa maju flat. They always quarrel when unit about pour water from balcony and splash on their smelly panties

Flat, Naco Louvered windows every where!
