I used to live in an apartment then decided to buy a house for reasons such as wanting to have a yard / outdoor space (wanted to buy a big dog among others), leave city life for suburban life for peace & quiet, family-proof (place where I’d want hypothetical kids to grow up in), etc. After experiencing both I prefer house over apartment.

      • Not having to worry too much about maintenance, as there are teams of maintenance people to call to have them handle problems.

      Landlords are useless. Every small repair is a year long fight to get them to do anything. .

      • Designated parking lots or areas

      Not a guarantee, and usually cost extra

      • Some places can be affordable

      Location dependent*

      • Some cool things can be offered like pools, some community related things .etc

      Also not a guarantee

      • You may have some leniency for when you’re billed for rent/utilities

      I’m confused by this one. You deal directly with the utility company either way, so what difference is there between apartment and house?
