Houses And Partments Flashcards
A place to live that can be rented for a short period of time
I recently spent a month on vacation - but instead of staying in a hotel, I looked for a short-term rental.
An apartment with only one big room
It was actually cheaper than renting a studio apartment all by myself.
A building with five floors
A five-story building
A two-bedroom apartment

How to say if a building was fixed up and improved
The apartment had recently been remodeled/renovated.
The room was big
We loved the spacious living room
The room was small and uncomfortable
The bedrooms were rather cramped.
Your home
I’d really like to have a place of my own so that I’m not throwing away money on rent every month.
Houses/apartments that are reasonably priced
There is a real shortage of affordable housing in my city.
Areas where rich people live
Even if I stay away from the upscale neighborhoods, I’d still have to take out a mortgage and it’ll take me more than 30 years to pay it off.
an initial payment on a big purchase
I’m gonna start saving up for a down payment .
A party to celebrate living in a new house/apartment
Someday, when I do move into a new place, I’ll be sure to throw a housewarming party.
