last
 decade, the debate regarding the advantages and the disadvantages of living in a

 is much better. In
this
 essay, I will be discussing both views in detail. living in a
house
 has many advantages.
Firstly
, you have a good space to arrange your furniture according to your preference as you will have enough area to move around.
For example
, you can buy a huge size dining table, sofa and tea table. As a consequence, you can enjoy inviting your friends and their children as you have enough space for that.
In addition
, houses usually have gardens with them, so you can enjoy planting some trees.
For instance
, the elderly love to have some
time
 with trees and flowers as they give the elderly a relaxing day.
Although
 houses are an excellent choice to live in, there are some struggles you have to overcome
such
 as cleaning issues, snow removal and high electricity and water bills. Living in an
apartment
 is much affordable. As you will pay less for your electricity and water bills. On other hand, you will have a smaller place to live in.
This
 is mean, you will spend less
time
 and effort cleaning your place. So if you have limited
