Would you prefer to live in an apartment or in an independent house if you have

I live in a single family home right now and couldnt stand to go back to apartment living...A duplex maybe but an apartment wouldn't work for me....

We lived in houses for years, then moved to an apartment for a year. Now we are back in a house. Because we still have kids at home, I prefer a house. When we are a little older, I think a senior citizen apartment complex will be an option we will consider. In some cities we've lived, neighborhoods were really social, others not so much. An apartment complex that caters to a specific age group might be more neighborly and I'd like that.

i would like to have an independant house only if there are people residing nearby. happy posting.

[i]Hi comfort, I love to have a house, My hubby and I love gardening so we need to have our own backyard to do it.. I used to rent when I was single and working and I enjoy really living with my Sister and our friends but we can't do anything like gardening![/i]

Hello,Comfort! I don't like the apartment culture.In an apartment you will not feel free any way.You will not find space to grow some plants particularly flower plants which is essential for every household for decorating the surroundings.So in my opinion independent house is better so that you can modify the structure of the house as and when desired which is not possible in an apartment.Thanx.

I have never been living in any Apartment since my birth!Till today i m used 2 live in Individual Houses:)It s not tat u feel lonely living in Independant house,u can have your own privacy n also can find ppl who live around!!anyways both has its own advantages nd disadvantages!!Though i wud long to live in apartments by hearing 2 my friends saying abt their enjoyment during Festiavl seasons....

I've always wanted my own little house but since I'm getting older and can't do all the yard work and upkeep an apartment is a more logical choice. We live in an apartment now and other than the rules and not having a yard, it's allright. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG AND TRUST IN GOD**[/b]

I have been away from home for more than 7 years and i have now experienced my stay in almost all of the options you mentioned. I have spent years staying in a hostel and now i stay in a rented house. And i think no one else here would be in a better position to explain the differences between them. Though i enjoy the freedom, being away from home and independent but at the same time, i am burdened with many other responsibilities. In hostel, though we didnt had to look after our rooms cleaning and all but in a rented house, thats a major work and then provision for drinking water, and house cleaning. washing clothes.,,huh my weekend goes in that only.. And ya food, i miss that food cooked by my mohter. But being away is my compulsion. So can't help it.. But in the coming months, my brother is returning to India and hopefully, he will be settling in the same city as i am along with his wife, so perhaps, i wont face any such problems of food then and we will be staying in a rented falt, most probably.

Hi there comfort55 At the moment I live in a house and have no intention of moving as I love my house. I wouldn't want to live in an appartment having people possibly living above, below and either side of me it is bad enough that I have one neighboutr that makes a lot of noise! I have a lovely garden and a place right outside of my house to park my car it's perfect!
