The majority of dwellings in France, whether in a village or a metropolis, are rental flats. Rows of four or five-story buildings with huge wooden or metal doors adorn French streets. These doors lead to the courtyard, from which you may take the elevator or the stairs to the flats. There are no names for these units; they are identified by numbers.
There are two types of rentals: with or without access to a shared kitchen. If there is a shared kitchen, it will probably have enough cooking equipment for everyone who lives there. Otherwise, people go out to eat every night!
If there is no shared kitchen, then each tenant must provide his/her own food for eating in during their stay. This could be as simple as buying some groceries once a week, but more commonly, individuals will cook meals for themselves. They will usually plan ahead and stock up on ingredients that will last for several days or weeks.
People often talk about how expensive it is to live in Paris, but this isn't always true. It all depends on how much you can afford. A lot of students from French universities live in Paris while studying because it is so cheap. In fact, you can even get a studio apartment with a small bedroom and bathroom for just 500 euros (about $560) a month.
While most individuals in rural France own their houses, it is customary in cities to rent an apartment, even for extended periods of time. When considering whether to purchase or rent property in France, you should weigh the pros and disadvantages and choose what is best for you. Renting gives you flexibility in finding a place that fits your budget and matches your needs while keeping the risk low since you do not have to pay if you decide not to keep the apartment.
In major cities such as Paris, you can usually find something decent available for rent. It's best to start looking around early in the game so you don't spend any more time than necessary looking at places that aren't right for you. Make sure the area is safe; look up information online about local crime rates before you move in. If there are problems with drug use or vandalism in a neighborhood, think twice about moving in.
When you first move into an apartment, you will probably want to fix things like broken windows or outdated appliances. While it is possible to get these repairs done by paying cash, it is easier and often cheaper to use public resources. For example, many cities across France have a program called "Habitation Assistance" (Assistance à la Habitation) that provides free repairs such as replacing window screens, fixing leaks, and updating wiring and plumbing. You just have to register with this service and they will send someone out to check everything over before doing the work.
Almost a quarter of all French citizens reside in Paris and its neighboring suburbs. People reside in flats in the heart of Paris. People primarily reside in dwellings in the outskirts of cities, as well as in villages and towns. Because France has so many farms, many people live in historic stone farmhouses. These homes are called "fermes à habitants" (farmhouses with residents).
In addition to farmers, city dwellers, and farmers living in rural areas, there are also forest workers, fishers, hunters, and trappers who make their livings in these ways.
France is a very urbanized country with over 75% of the population living in urban areas. Although most farmers own their farms, many rent them out to other farmers or to individuals. This is because it can be difficult to earn a profit on small plots of land that don't produce enough income on their own.
In conclusion, people live in houses in the cities of France.
Explanation of 7 French property categories
Families in Paris do not reside in houses; instead, they live in two-, three-, and four-bedroom condominiums and flats. This is not at all unique to Paris. Families in core regions of practically any big city live in condominiums and apartments. They can only afford to do this because the cost of living is very low compared to what it is in America or even France as a whole.
In fact, according to the 2012 American Community Survey, 77% of families in Paris were part of a household group. This means that they lived either with their spouse or partner, a relative, or another person who was not related to them. Only 23% of families were considered single parent households.
It is important to remember that these are average figures. In reality, some family groups are going to be divided up among multiple rooms, while other families will have enough money to buy a larger house or apartment.
However, despite the fact that most families in Paris are composed of members of one or more household groups, this does not mean that they don't enjoy an individual identity. Each member of the family has a separate social security number, and can file their own taxes. The parents may have a common account into which they deposit money for expenses such as rent and utilities, but otherwise they handle their finances separately from one another.
