A flat is British, can't you tell? the name suggests boredom.
An apartment is Americanised, but they are the same thing, a dwelling, a place rest your weary head, just one sounds MUCH MUCH better than the other.
(Also, I bet if you were to put the same property on the market with two estate agents, but one described it as a flat and the other described it as an apartment, the one selling it as an apartment would get more viewings)

Difference Between Flat And Apartment
2016-10-03 09:19:16 · answer #2 · answered by vanterpool 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
Turdo, Don't mind those bunch of Loonies!!! A Flat is a whole series of Rooms, Palour/Sitting room/rest room with its own toilets and bathroom, Kitchen, and store house. Its a combination of all these put together inside one Flat. Its designed solely to guarantee you ustmost privacy. On The other hand, An apartment is only a room or more. The chief difference is that you will have ti share your Kitchen, Toilet and Bathroom with the other tenants. Its a kind of time - sharing facility. You tae turns to Bath, use the loo, and have your own side of the kitchen. You can see the difference between an apartment and a flat now? While you have all facilities to yourself in the Flat, you have to share the other facilities with the other tenants usually when there is not more than 1 or 2 of the facility. Hope this doesn't confuse you.

Apartment is another name for a flat, especially in America and Canada.

No real difference.
