Apartment Building, Apartment
noun
マンション comes from the English word "mansion," but it just means an ordinary apartment building in Japanese. Depending on context, it can also mean an individual apartment. Either way, it’s definitely not a big, luxurious house in Japanese!

We can see the fireworks really well from the balcony of my apartment!
