these styles

this style

of living before coming to a logical conclusion. Till a few decades back, living in individual houses was the most common norm.

This

was not only due to the fact that land was easily available but

also

due to the size of the family. The extended family lived and worked together. The

house

was generally accompanied with a large garden and ample

space

for the children to play. Even today, people living in houses prefer to do so because they value their privacy and need their own

space

. They

also

argue that they can build and design the

house

layout as per their convenience.

However

, living in a

house

comes with a high maintenance cost and extra effort.

However

,

this

is an advantage that people living in an apartment value. The maintenance is taken care of by the society. There is a helpline number that you can call at any time of the day for any issue that you face.

Besides

, working parents

also

vouch for the safety of their children within

such

gated communities. The only discomfort faced by people living in apartments is the lack of privacy and

space

. The choice of living in a

house

or in an apartment depends on factors

such

as availability, rental costs and need and

hence

a particular style of living cannot be deemed to be the better than the other.
