Families who search for freehold landed houses tend to end up viewing at least one strata landed home along the way, since both have similar configurations at overlapping prices.
With a strata landed home, you own the house but not the land it stands on. That land is shared by everyone in the development, the same way the grounds of a condo are.
A common term for a gated strata landed housing development with shared facilities is a cluster home. But the category is wider than just cluster homes; it also includes strata landed homes without a gated compound, such as Pollen Collection, and the landed units inside condominium developments like D'Leedon.
