** ''līvakita'' — apartment block (in the vast majority of cases, ''līvakitai'' are panel houses, so that the terms are almost synonyms).

* ''keika'' — a residential building where the flats are in (usually two-, rarely three-story) buildings [[w:it:Corte lombarda|wrapped around a shared internal courtyard<small><sup>(IT)</sup></small>]]. Traditionally typical of the rural Plain, due to urban expansion many such buildings - or ''keikai'' clusters - are found in older areas of most Chlouvānem cities. A few of them still do not have private toilet facilities, only commonal ones in the courtyard.

** The term, moreover, also means "courtyard" or "garden", and in this sense has been used as a compound element for words such as ''~~tammikeika~~'' (train station) or ''lairkeika'' (airport). Therefore, ''keika'' in colloquial usage often also means "station".

** The term, moreover, also means "courtyard" or "garden", and in this sense has been used as a compound element for words such as ''galtarkeika'' (train station) or ''lairkeika'' (airport). Therefore, ''keika'' in colloquial usage often also means "station".

* ''lāmahikā'' — dormitory

* ''martakita'' — [[w:shophouse|shophouse]], a type of terraced house where the upper floor(s) is/are residential and the ground floor is a shop. Literally meaning "city house", this is the dominant type of building in the older centres of Chlouvānem cities. ''martakitai'' do not need to have a uniform front - being attached to another such house on at least one side is enough to define them as such.
