Häuser

Because Germany's rate of home ownership is the lowest in Europe, most Germans live in a rented apartment or flat (die Wohnung) rather than in their own single-family house (das Einfamilienhaus). For various reasons, including high costs, only about 42 percent of German families own the home they live in, compared to a rate of about 70 percent in the U.S. and Britain. 
 * Housing and Real Estate in Germany **

Even if they own their home, the typical German family often lives in a condominium (die Eigentumswohnung) or row house (das Reihenhaus) rather than in a detached single-family house. Despite a high standard of living, the costs of land and home financing in Germany, especially in larger cities, keep the German dream home (das Traumhaus) beyond the means of most people.

Most houses have their own gardens. Schrebergarten are used by people that live in apartments and are usually hard to come by as people hold the lease for many years and may pass the lease on to family members.
