house is a walk-up apartment in Sixth Avenue. what does 'walk-up' means?

Walk up apartment is usually about 3 to 4 storeys high. No lifts. You need to walk up and down the stairs. Very much like the shophouses in Chinatown and some of the houses in Geylang.

The property is usually more than 20 years old when lifts were not common back then.
