why are they called apartments if they're so close together?

They would be far away from each other if only the word "apart" was apart from "ments" hahhaa. No for real, apart is not a suffix so that means that if you see it in a word it doesn't mean all the time that the word is apart from "meaning"

"Live-in" usually refers to two people living together.\nI don't know who first called it that, but since it's an English word, it started in some country where the people speak English.\nAs to where it is most common, that's hard to say, since some people don't want others to know their living arrangements, and might hide them.

I had a man fired from his job, arrested for drug posession, and told his girlfriend he was cheating sothat she would leave him. Why all this? Because I wanted his apartment. It may sound odd, but if you ever lived in New York, you'd know how seperate you have to be to find a place.

People who live in apartment buildings need to be courteous to their neighbors.  That means no loud noise after 9:00 at night.  \n\nPeople have to get up early to go to work and need quiet in the evenings.

I imagine every town has their own "A St.", "B St.", "C St.", "D St.", etc. I think we have A-F here in my town. (Northern California) That whole section of town is kind of a ghetto like area. It's sort of interesting to me that almost any city I've been to that has short street names like that, also has their ghetto area there.

Because it's likely in the lease. Rent might be different if more people were living there. I know that if I'm to have a guest for more than 2 weeks I need to inform my landlord and get their permission.

The term "English basement" can confuse a newcomer to the area. It signifies a basement apartment with windows that are at or at least partially above street level. That means lighting is key.

You can't have a two bedroom studio apartment.  A studio apartment is everything in one room (except the bathroom).

Two common reasons:\n1) The building is an extension on another building, but is maintained as a separate residence. This is only used when the  extension has a separate enterance, and is most common when an apartment is attached to a single-family home.\n\n2) A building is built between two consecutively numbered buildings (e.g. between 864 and 866 - remember that all odd numbers are on one side of a street and all even numbers are on the other). Rather than renumber the entire street, they will the number that is in-between the two existing buildings (864 1/2).

Probably because they are round and keep moving, bumping into each other. Confusing is; when they bang together, pieces never fall off OR they get smaller with friction.

Housing is pretty quiet. It's kinda lonely.  I don't know about the inside of the homes but they look pretty roomy.

I am a Malaysian who live in Alor Star. I know my neighbours but I don't know their names. In the housing area I lived 2 years ago, neighbours are very familiar with each other. I literally know almost everyone.

I'm told by some iron workers here in Las Vegas that some of the large buildings here have a lot of space between floors. It is a safety feature to help slow fires if they get started

It's an apartment that's not on the ground floor.\n\nboven = up, top, upstairs, ...\nwoning = house, home, place, ...\n\nThe term is only used in Holland, not in Belgium\n\n[edit]:\nBenedenwoning would be the opposite: you'd get (part) of the ground floor.

You do not really know anyone until you live with them. You are trying to mesh two lifestyles. Sometimes it is just too different to work out. I think it is  GOOD IDEA TO LIVE TOGETHER.
