Where do you live?
What type of building do you live in?

I've lived in different types of houses in my life. When I was a child I lived in a semi-detached house in a small village, later on we moved to the city to an apartment in a block of flats, we were living there for ten years. When I get married we become to live in an small flat and actually we live in a detached house with a very nice garden around it.
The block of flats is the most typical type of building in my city and in my country. But there are some areas where there are nice detached and semidetached houses with garden and is very pleasant to live there, because is more quiet than to live in a block.
Actually I don't think of changing the house any more.
