Vastu Shastra
When it comes to a city life, there is no longer room for big houses, luxurious parking spaces, backyards, and pavements leading to the main entrance. All of that has been replaced by multi-unit high rise buildings with balconies for backyards and lifts for pavements! However, it isn't so bad! Living in an apartment has its own advantages, given the flat is built as per the norms set by vaastu shaastra.
