The cost of a Roman domus varied widely depending on its size, location, and the materials used, but it could range from a few thousand sesterces for a modest home to tens of thousands for a larger, more luxurious property. In urban areas like Rome, a well-located domus could be particularly expensive, reflecting its status and amenities. Additionally, the socioeconomic status of the owner played a significant role in determining the overall cost.
To buy a domus in a small town/city would have costed around 100,000 sestertii. Insulae were more often than not, owned by a 'landlord'. So people would rent rather than buy. On that basis, the condition of the insula would probably be worse than a domus but bigger; it probably would have cost significantly less than 100,000.
If someone were wealthy enough to live in a free standing house (domus), they usually had a slave to do the cooking.
Roman housing blocks are called "insulae" from the Latin word for island.

A patrician's house was called a domus, the same as any other Roman house. In ancient Rome, a house was a house, its size didn't give it a special name. The only special indication of housing was the "insulae" or apartment houses, which connoted multi-family dwellings rather than private homes for one family.
