  Different types of gravitating compact objects occuring in d=5 space-time are
considered: boson stars, hairy black holes and perfect fluid solutions. All
these solutions of the Einstein equations coupled to matter have well
established counterparts in d=4; in particular neutron stars can be
modell{\S}ed more or less realistically by a perfect fluid. A special emphasis
is set on the possibility -and/or the necessity- for these solutions to have an
intrinsic angular momentum or spin. The influence of a cosmological constant on
their pattern is also studied.
  Several physical properties are presented from which common features to boson
and neutron stars clearly emerge.
  We finally point out qualitative differences of the gravitational interaction
supporting these classical lumps between four and five dimensions.
