Differences

Flat

Apartment

A flat, similar to an apartment, is a housing unit that's self-contained but is part of a larger building with several units. While the words apartment and flat are often used interchangeably, some people refer to single-storied units as flats because of their "flat" nature.

It is a place to live that is only part of a larger building. Usually it is a group of rooms on one floor of a highrise building in a city, where land is too expensive for people to have separate houses. An apartment that people own is called a condominium or "condo".

House

It's a building in which a person or a family lives.
