In many cities many prople are living in apartments and condominiums. Do these types of accommodations offer more advantages or disadvantages.

Large cities are usually populated with new immigrants who come in search of a job or in the hope of building a new life for themselves and their families. Most of these

at least for the

year until they get familiarized with the new place.

Apartments

and condominiums offer a convenient place for bachelors and families to live. While there are several advantages to

this

situation, there are a few disadvantages. In my personal opinion, there are more merits than demerits to the same. The main advantage of

apartments

is that most of them can be rented.

This

Linking Words

lifts a huge financial burden from the shoulders of newcomers. When someone

first

arrives in a city, they usually do not have the financial backup to buy a

house

. The downpayment for a rental

apartment

is much lesser than that for a

house

. Now in some cases, even if they have money to invest in buying a

, they might not have friends or acquaintances to help them with the tedious process of

hunting. In

such

cases, it is so much easier for a person to walk into an

community and get the formalities sorted with the managers there. Apart from

this

,

apartments

usually offer all essential amenities

such

as fully equipped gymnasiums, recreational areas, meeting rooms, barbeque

for small gatherings, pool

and so much more.

This

is very helpful for

people

. Most

apartment

complexes are built close to public

facilities

such

as subway stations, pharmacies, clinics, grocery stores etc.

This

is an added convenience ,especially for

people

who do not own their own cars. Residential spaces built into high-rise buildings accommodate a large number of

people

Use synonyms

using a relatively small amount of land. It is impossible to build individual houses with large or even small backyards and frontage in a large city because of the sheer lack of land availability.

Hence

Linking Words

, these

facilities

tackle the major issue of space problems.

However

Linking Words

, the disadvantage of

this

type of residence is that you feel locked up inside the four walls. Most old

apartments

in Toronto downtown do not have balconies or even a window that can be fully opened. There is no fresh air coming in ever in these

apartments

.

This

is especially difficult for

people

who love to live close to nature. You feel so disconnected from nature. Social isolation is another disadvantage of living in these buildings. There is very less or rather no opportunity for any type of social get-togethers here.

People

seldom know their

Hence

Linking Words

this

type of living is not healthy in the long run.

Hence

Linking Words

, to summarize,

apartment

Use synonyms

living has both advantages and disadvantages

however

Linking Words

, in my opinion, the former outweighs the latter.

Also

Linking Words

, it ultimately boils down to the personal preferences of individual

people

and families to choose an ideal living space for themselves.
