What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Kuala Lumpur?

"We live in a 4 bedroom standalone house [bungalow]. Most expats take either a house or apartment, depending on whether or not they have children, or major security concerns. Apartments have better security and amenities, but are typically smaller. Many houses have pools," explained one expat living in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
