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?

Some people believe living in their own
house
is more beneficial than living in a flat, while some others are the opposite of
this
.
This
essay will agree with the above statement because it is cheaper and comfortably a flat. To commence with, people who have their own
home
can live their life with a comfortable and easy way. They will have their own privacy within the boundaries of
home
with their own compound and gardens, so they don't need to share anything with other people.
For instance
, people can make their own garden or build compound within their condominium for their family member only, so they don't have to mix up with other people like as in flat.
Furthermore
, living in a
home
is more safer as there will be no more people moving in and out.
For example
, a recents study has concluded that living at
home
chance of infection of COVID-19 ailments (communicable disease) is less than in people living in an
apartment
.
Therefore
, they will have their own style of living without any disturbance on health as well as privacy.
Moreover
,
house
Suggestion
the house
is cheaper to build than to buy an
apartment
. Due to
this most
Accept comma addition
this, most
people like to live in
house
Suggestion
the house
a house
so that they can save their money and can live without any stress.
For example
, for people who prefer to live in apartments have to pay double the price of houses every year which makes them in pressure to work hard.
Hence
, for livelihood people seem to be more mirth with their own
house
rather than
apartment
Suggestion
an apartment
.
However
, some people think
apartment
has all sorts of facilities and they don't need to worry about the household equipment and it's better options for living purposes. In every
apartment
there will be a full set of furniture as well as all equipments
such
as kitchen utensils, living room furniture like sofa set, table, Tv, and so on. Even more, they will have the shopping mall, gym centre, sports hall everything inside the
apartment
.
As a result
the individual can have a luxurious life with all necessary things in one place. But, in my opinion, in
apartment building
Suggestion
an apartment building
there will be a lot of people, so there might be conflicts between them and might be perilous sometime.
In addition
, in natural calamity like earthquake, it's too risky for
apartment
than a person living in a
house
. To exemplify,
last
two years ago in Nepal a plethora of people die especially from the
apartment
who are unable to save their lives as the building is too high and impossible for them to come outside, while the people in the
house
can easily come out. To sum up,
although
there are some benefits of
apartment
like all facilities with luxurious life, in my opinion, it's too expensive a well as risk and for privacy concerns
home
is much better than an
apartment
.
