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?

Recently, it is important for

people

to determine which type of accommodation

people

believe that living in a

is better, I would agree with those who argue that living in a flat is more advantageous.

On the other hand

, there are two main advantages of living in apartments that eclipse the benefits of living in a
