The apartment building is no more than three stories tall and the green space is shared by all of the tenants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if you\u2019re looking for garden-style <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/1826\/MA\/Boston\/apartments-for-rent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">apartments in Boston, MA<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/neighborhood\/219258\/NY\/New-York\/Brooklyn\/apartments-for-rent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brooklyn, NY<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you\u2019ll find that the east coast has a more strict definition for the apartment type. A garden apartment on the east coast usually refers to a unit located on ground level and has direct access to a private garden or patio space.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Garden-style apartments vs basement apartments<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s common for people to use the terms garden apartment and basement apartment interchangeably. However, there are some subtle differences between the two.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you enter both apartments through the first floor, a basement apartment will have at least 50% of the unit located below ground level. In contrast, a garden apartment typically never goes below ground level. Another key difference is that a basement apartment generally won\u2019t feature any green space or have a private patio area.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-77424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/patio-gardens.jpg\" alt=\"patio gardens\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/patio-gardens.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/patio-gardens-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/patio-gardens-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/patio-gardens-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/patio-gardens-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/patio-gardens-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/patio-gardens-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pros and cons of garden apartments<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with any <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/different-types-of-apartments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">apartment type<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, garden apartments have their advantages and disadvantages.

Whether the unit has a small patio or a large community garden, it&#8217;s great to have a living space surrounded by greenery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Energy efficient &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This apartment style may help save you money on utility bills in the summer. Since hot air rises and garden apartments are mostly located on the ground floor, your apartment may stay cooler than the ones above you. &#8211; This could allow you to cut down on cooling costs and save you money.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Better value &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having an apartment located on the ground floor isn\u2019t for everyone. Because of that, they generally have a lower monthly rent than units with similar square footage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Great for pets &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A garden apartment is ideal for <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/renting-with-pets-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">renters with pets<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

When touring this apartment type, it\u2019s a good idea to ask the landlord if they spray for pests and what steps they suggest tenants take to ensure bugs don&#8217;t enter the unit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Little sunlight &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This apartment style usually has units with small windows which let in little natural light. This can be great for night owls or those who work night shifts, however, some renters may feel like the space is too dark.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Moisture and mold &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Garden apartments can suffer from moisture problems. Those wanting to rent this style should check the unit for any preexisting mold problems before signing a lease. While living in the apartment, keeping moisture at bay by fixing any leaks immediately and using a dehumidifier is a must.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Privacy issues &#8211; <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with any street-level apartment, garden apartments often give little privacy. If you\u2019re not comfortable with seeing people walking outside from your window, this style may not be right for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Limited availability &#8211;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u201cThe biggest problem I see with garden apartments is finding availability. In Florida, most of the complexes were built in the 50s and 60s and unfortunately have not made a large comeback. They\u2019re the kind of apartments that many put up a \u201cfor rent\u201d sign rather than listing on a public website.
