Often referred to as gated apartments or retirement homes, granny flat apartments are small -accessory living units ranging from 100-1200 square feet, known by various names by different regions. These tiny dwellings are small but extremely private housing units with a gated entrance. These types of homes have their own bathroom, kitchen, living room and entrance to the main house. It is very important that granny apartments follow certain rules of privacy to keep away from unwanted visits of neighbors or strangers. Many people consider it as an alternative to the large houses.
The most common location for a granny flat is the country. This is because these homes require less maintenance than the larger houses. The country homes do not require much work, which makes them more affordable. They also allow the owner to move back into the big home without a hassle. Another location that is becoming popular is in small towns and cities where there is little or no room for a large house or an expensive building. Most of the town homes are very affordable.
To get a granny apartment in a city, it is advisable to look for a local real estate agent. Real estate agents in large cities are better in locating suitable apartments for a granny apartment. If the agent in a small city does not offer this type of service, he may be able to suggest someone who is. It is always good to look around to make sure you are getting the best deal for your money.
