Across Lagos and Ikota, "flat" and "apartment" refer to identical property types. Both mean self-contained units within larger residential buildings where multiple households live. You'll see landlords and agents switch between these terms freely. What you need to know is that flats/apartments differ from detached houses, duplexes (two-story units), and self-contain accommodations.

You'll find both in Ikota. Bare units go for ₦4,500,000 to ₦4,500,000 annually. Furnished properties with appliances, furniture, and standard fixtures run an additional ₦1,800,000 to ₦4,500,000 more per year; usually 20-35% higher than unfurnished.
