Some people prefer to live in a house, while others feel that there is more advantage to living in an apartment. Are there more advantages than disadvantages of living in a house compared with living in an apartment?

In big business cities there are two options available for the type of accommodation: houses and apartment. Some people

provide a much more comfortable and safe way of living. The advantages include the fact that there is one key and lock they have to take care of, and
also
the sense of being a part of a big family. Usually a guard sits at the main gate, so children can play around in the compound with their

wives know it very well. But a key advantage is that it is safe to go on vacation for a long trip.
On the other hand
