some people prefer to live in a house, while others feel that there are more advantages to living in an apartment. Are there more advantages than disadvantages of living in a house compared with living in an apartment?
Preferring a
house
or flat as a living accommodation is a debatable issue nowadays.It is considered by some people that living in a house
is a better option than living in the flats, while others believe that apartments have more advantages. In my opinion, they both have some advantages and disadvantages and this
essay will discuss about both.
Firstly
, living in a house
relieve the owner
of the house
from the problems like high music or sounds which their neighbours make, and therefor, the people who live in a house
are calmer. For example
, according to one of the latest research from Harvard University, 65% of people who live in a house
are less aggressive and they have more concentration at
their work. Suggestion

Secondly
, most houses have also
a garden and that means the owner
and his or her kids have more space for physical activities, namely planting and playing different sports which is almost impossible in an apartment
. But, regardless of the fact that the owner
has more space, cleaning huge houses is also
very hard and takes a lot of time. Likewise
, making a house
warm, takes a lot of time and energy. Moreover
, finding a huge house
which answers all our expectations is not a very easy thing nowadays.
On the other hand
, living in an apartment
means having a lot of neighbours around you which can be very noisy. Keeping animals, like dog or birds, is not a very easy thing to do. If a person has a child, he or she should be really careful that they are not disturbing other neighbours while they are playing. However
, the owner
can also
have good and helpful neighbours which can help him and sometimes they can look for their kids. If a person has not enough money, he can share his apartment
with another person and as a result
, he can make money from his extra bedrooms.
In conclusion, I believe that living in a house
has more advantages than apartment
and I personally, prefer to live in a house
