• Complex ([Image](https://dallasnews.imgix.net/case1.jpg)): A multi-story building with individual units. Entrances are interior (via hallways). Unit owners/tenants not responsible for exterior maintenance.
• Condominium: A complex where each unit is individually owned. Can be rented out by the individual owners to tenants.
• Apartment/Flat: A complex where each unit is owned by the building. Only rented.
• Townhouse ([Image](https://photos.zillowstatic.com/fp/88ba7f60e3443054f93b7bfd57558c91-cc_ft_960.jpg)): Similar to a condo but the entrances are exterior (no hallways), usually only 1-3 stories.
• Villa ([Image](https://nhs-dynamic.secure.footprint.net/images/homes/lennarweb/27299987-180427.jpg?maxwidth=1932&format=jpg)): Fancy name for a duplex (or tri/quad/etc.). Similar to a townhouse in nature, but more akin to a traditional single-family home (you just share a wall), and usually you are responsible for the exterior maintenance (e.g., mowing the yard). But villa is also a design-style for single-family homes as well, usually very nice ones, hence the marketing decision to change the name from a duplex to villa.
• Bungalow: A design-style for single-family homes.
