In the simplest type of zoning, residents are housed in blocks of 40-60 moderately-sized apartments which share a common lobby and entrance. As with all other zoning types, StarFleet personnel and citizens are mixed freely. Generally, residents of these areas are childless, or have very young children who do not require their own room yet. | [[File:Voyjanewaysquarters.jpg|thumb|right|Typical apartment style quarters.]]In the simplest type of zoning, residents are housed in blocks of 40-60 moderately-sized apartments which share a common lobby and entrance.

Units within this style of housing include one-to-two bedrooms, distinct dining and family areas, as well as one full washroom. Replicators are standard. | Units within this style of housing include one-to-two bedrooms, distinct dining and family areas, as well as one full washroom. Replicators are standard. | ||

For residents wishing to maintain their own apartments, while living in close proximity to friends or relatives, the suite style of housing is an optimal fit. In this type of zoning, three to six apartments will share a small lounge area and one central entrance, off which the private residences are maintained. Similar to the community style housing (below), the lounge area contains some type of simulated window, which can be customized to the resident's tastes for the regular viewing of outdoor scenes. All of the suites will always have windows (which can be easily changed from opaque to translucent to transparent) which view the lounge and allow light from the simulated window to shine through. | [[Image:Arboretum,_Dark_page.jpg|thumb|right|One style of a shared lounge.]]For residents wishing to maintain their own apartments, while living in close proximity to friends or relatives, the suite style of housing is an optimal fit.

Apartments within this zoning are nearly identical to the simple apartment style zoning, and include one-to-two bedrooms, a distinct dining and family area, and a full washroom. Replicators are also standard here. | Apartments within this zoning are nearly identical to the simple apartment style zoning, and include one-to-two bedrooms, a distinct dining and family area, and a full washroom.

Those residents with larger families often request this very popular style of housing, which sustains over 50% of those living on the base. In this setup, 12-18 larger housing units share a central atrium which may span from four to six decks. | Those residents with larger families often request this very popular style of housing, which sustains over 50% of those living on the base.

At the centre of these atriums would be an interior area with parkland, ponds or gardens planted inside the starbase to simulate a planet surface and relaxing atmosphere. | |||
All atriums in this setup include a simulated "window" ceiling, which cycles from daylight to evening hours. Atriums are also constructed with greenery in mind, including at least one large arboreal plant situated on the bottom deck of the atrium. Around the flora is also built a central gathering space, which can be converted from a play area for children to a meeting space for adults. This style of housing also forgoes the larger dining areas within each house, which may be found in other styles of housing on the base. Instead, a communal dining area is provided on one floor of the atrium -- although each individual unit still maintains its own replicator for small meals, snacks, and supplies as necessary. | All atriums in this setup include a simulated "window" ceiling, which cycles from daylight to evening hours.

Each house in these small communities maintains its own private space, with a secure front door. However, units must be accessed from the community space, into which there are only two entrances -- usually one on the highest level, and one on the lowest level. | Each house in these small communities maintains its own private space, with a secure front door.
