"Where can a family live?
If you have enough money you can live in a detached house (or family house) or a semi-detached house (picture on the left). You and your parents can be neighbours when you live in this kind of house.

If you don’t have enough money to buy a house you can live in a flat, which is a part of a block of flats. Many Czech people live in flats in a prefab house. Children usually have to share a room in a flat.
Or you can live in a villa or some kind of mansion, skyscraper, bungalow, cottage, terraced (row) house or a penthouse (luxurious flat at the top of a high-rise building, e.g. in Manhattan). Poor people live in empty houses called squats or in slums (areas with shelters in poor condition). It depends on your possibilities...
Concerning flats or houses we can usually find there a kitchen, living room, bedroom, dining room, bathroom, toilet, hall, cellar (x basement), loft (x attic), garage, study, gym, pantry, utility room (a place where we keep equipment for cleaning).
Loft and attic represent the highest part of a house (under the roof). However, there is a difference between them. In an attic you can live but in a loft you usually store some old things.
There is similar difference between cellar and basement. Both of them represent the lowest part of the house (underground) but cellar is again for storing and basement for living.

To keep your house tidy you have to do some housework too. Examples of chores: to do the washing-up, dusting, do the washing/ do the laundry, hovering/ vacuuming, ironing, cleaning, watering flowers, taking out the rubbish, gardening, fixing things and so on.

Czech x British X American housing
Czech: housing estates with prefabs, blocks of flats, family houses and two-generation houses made of concrete, wall units in living rooms, gardens to grow fruit and vegetables, DIY (repairs), weekends spent at the cottage
British: semi-detached and terraced houses (saving money and energy), red brick houses, no plaster, ivy-covered houses, front or backyards with lawns and flower beds, brunches at the weekend"
