garden apartments

Low-rise rental housing

Garden apartments are low-rise residential buildings, typically two or three stories, arranged around shared outdoor spaces like courtyards or lawns.

The term distinguishes these complexes from high-rise buildings—emphasizing ground-level access, greenery, and a suburban feel even in urban areas: The garden apartments were built in the 1950s when the neighborhood was still developing.
