Why do more and more people stay in condominiums? One reason for

this

is that there is not adequate space to build houses for every person due to overpopulation in major urban areas.

As a result

, people have to find other types of accommodations, and one of the most common alternatives that people choose is condominiums. Certain residents prefer to stay in apartments because of convenient locations.

Nevertheless

, there are several key rationales for why residents should avoid living in condominiums.

To begin

with, one of the most common disadvantages that can arise from living in condominiums is that residents have less privacy. To clarify, they have to stay close to their

neighbors

a person who lives (or is located) near another

neighbours

, who cannot choose their

neighbors

a person who lives (or is located) near another

neighbours

. Unfortunately, certain nearby residents may have loud parties, or

neighbors

a person who lives (or is located) near another

neighbours

upstairs can walk loudly at all hours of the day and night.

Moreover

, certain

neighbors

a person who lives (or is located) near another

neighbours

who have babies have to take care of their crying infants because they might cry every night, which prevents their

neighbors

a person who lives (or is located) near another

neighbours

from sleeping soundly. All in all, it seems clear that residents often lack privacy and peace. An additional detrimental aspect is that there are numerous strict rules which residents have to abide by. Building owners might prohibit some types of pets because they might cause problems for other people.

For instance

, dogs can bark loudly, so some

neighbors

a person who lives (or is located) near another

neighbours

may feel annoyed. Building owners might

visitors, which

dwellers can have, or they disallow some types of

renovations which

are allowed to put up on the rooms because these may cause damage to properties.

As a result

, if they do not follow rules seriously, they might be forced to pay fines. Clearly,

therefore

, they are burdened with strict rules. There is,

however

, another side to

this

debate, which is the assumption that living in condominiums

more economical for an initial investment. Supporters commonly argue that condominiums appreciate in value faster than houses.

Also

, residents who do not want to sell their condominiums can allow other people to rent them to receive more revenue.

However

,

although

this

argument may appear to have some merit on the surface, it fails to take into consideration the fact that condo prices are somewhat high, especially in downtown areas or competitive locations.

Also

, residents have to pay high maintenance fees,

such

as condominium and security fees every month, which are not unnecessary expenses for some residents because they may not use these facilities every day.

As a result

, the additional costs can discourage

first

-time buyers from purchasing condominiums. To sum up, even though many residents stay in condominiums, living in

this

type of accommodation is not a rational choice because residents lack privacy, and they

also

have to follow strict rules. As a suggestion, dwellers should read their contracts carefully before purchasing a condo so that they do not face legal problems, but living in a house is preferable if they can find one in the right area at a reasonable price.
