Some people prefer to live in a house while others feel that there are more advantageous to living in an apartment. Are there more advantageous or disadvantages of living in a house compared to in an apartment?
It is true that there is a long-standing debate over living in a house or apartment.
Although
there are overwhelming advantages that home living can offer, it has Linking Words
also
a set of drawbacks which will be conveyed in Linking Words
this
essay.
There are numerous perks that come Linking Words
along with
the building , one of which is a sense of belonging in the community. Living in a condo allows us to make long-lasting relationships with neighbours and other people because,unlike apartments, there is no restriction on the formation of those close relationships with friends and relatives with no complaints about noise by the close proximity of neighbours. Linking Words
Furthermore
, houses can be customised to fit our needs or tastes. We are able to install a security system,a swimming pool,Linking Words
for instance
, or even personalise a project of our own rooms the way we like which is not possible in most apartments. Because for every change renters would like to make in the house or apartment, they would need permission from the landlord. Another benefit of Linking Words
this
type of property could be having more space than in an apartment as houses have more rooms, yards and gardens. Linking Words
This
comes in handy, especially for those who long for some privacy, to entertain guests or enjoy the outdoors with family members without having to go to a park or beach.

However
, when living at home, we might have to bear maintenance costs like repairing bills, mortgage payments or even real estate taxes . It would be an expensive and time-consuming process if we faced issues like plumbing and air conditioning. If Linking Words
this
is the case, Linking Words
such
worries do not bother leaseholders as Linking Words
this
is the landlord's business. Linking Words
Additionally
, The bigger the house is, the higher utility bills we should pay and homeowners cannot deduct utilities on their tax returns. Another striking drawback behind Linking Words
this
is the flexibility to relocate. We may not be as flexible as those who lease a flat because of sole responsibility for our property. Tenants, Linking Words
on the other hand
, are free to turn the key and leave whenever they want. Linking Words
In addition
, not only selling our homes but even renting it could be highly problematic Linking Words
due to
the unnecessary bureaucracy in the local government.
In conclusion, as long as owning a home gives us relative harmony and more independence that tenants only dream of, financial costs and flexibility in the location are Linking Words
also
frequently considered together.Linking Words
