All units have their own laundry hook-ups. The residents pay for their own water consumption. The next is a development of 55 walk-up residential buildings in Tampa, FL, containing a total of 76 units. The residents pay their own water bills and almost all units (478 out of 487) have their own laundry hook-ups. The next is another single-family detached home; this one is a 1,056-square-foot house in Lake Linden, MI. It has its own clothes washer and the resident pays the water bill. The next is classified as a development of four walk-up residential buildings in Haines, OR, containing a total of eight units.
