ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Apartment

An apartment is a type of home that you can rent. It's like a house, but smaller and cheaper. It's usually part of a bigger building where other people live, too. You can live alone in an apartment or you can share it with roommates. You'll have to pay rent each month to your landlord or apartment building manager. They'll also keep the building in good shape and maybe even provide services like maintenance or a fitness center.
