while remaining favour living in an

. According to me living in a
house

is more advantageous than in an
Apartment
Use synonyms
. One of the main reasons is privacy and
second

is the freedom. I will elaborate on it below. Houses have generally more privacy than
Apartments
Use synonyms
as there is no interference from neighbours who are passing by.
Apartments
Use synonyms
are so close to each other that sometimes neighbours can hear each other.
This

can cause some serious trouble if the conversation is private. Nowadays there are a lot of issues in
Apartments
Use synonyms
with the major being parking space, leakage. We had a recent experience of leakage, where the water was leaking from our
house
Use synonyms
to the downstair neighbour's
house

so we did the waterproofing of the floor but
this

was the builder's fault still we had to pay for waterproofing and it caused a lot of mental stress due to its expensive nature. The
second

thing is the freedom we have in our own
house
Use synonyms
. If we live in an
Apartment
Use synonyms
there are some restrictions on us. For ,example if we want to renovate our
apartment
Use synonyms
then
Linking Words
there are some restrictions with respect to the structural integrity of the home like we cannot break down some walls to make a room look bigger.
This
Linking Words
is not the case with
House
Use synonyms
, in the
house
Use synonyms
if we want to break down the whole
house
Use synonyms
and build it up from scratch no one can stop us. Another benefit is the extra usable space. As compared to
apartments
Use synonyms
a
house
Use synonyms
has extra usable space even if both have equal carpet area. So, in conclusion, I would like to say that houses have more privacy and freedom as compared to
apartments
Use synonyms
and are advantageous in most situations.
