What does an average home in Prague look like? Is it an apartment or a detached house, how many bedrooms?

In Eastern European countries, the quality of housing varies greatly, from cramped apartments in gray concrete buildings to elegant mansions. I wonder, which of this is worth 16 times annual income.

65 m2 apartment is Czech average, obviously it will be apartment as well in Prague, since houses are reserved only for extremely wealthy or people with family here who inherited it, though I'd not guess what's average m2 in Prague, I'd assume less than Czech 65m2 average, which is btw. quite small 2BR+1LR apartment

and it will be mix of old brick buildings, commie concrete block buildings and new brick/concrete buildings, msot of the people live for sure in commie block ghettoes (8-13fl usually), I am lucky one bought apartment in concrete building but with only 5 floors which looks also from outside like brick building (only around 50 of these models built in Czechia) and right next to my building is older brick building owith almost same height, lot of green and quite close to city center unlike those commie block ghettos which are on the edges of city
