Living in an apartment is so much better than in a house. amirite?

Nope, never doing shared walls and ceilings/floors again in my life. So many nights of lost sleep because some crack head hippo lived above me and liked doing calisthenics around 1am. Apartments would be fine by me if people weren't so damn inconsiderate.

Yea, or having neighbors with multiple kids that they never go out with and just let them run and scream around the apartment all day. It's really not fun never having your silence and getting woken up at 7 in the morning on a sunday.

I enjoy the freedom to renovate that living in a house brings. As well as the freedom to have as many dogs as I please. But this isn't as unpopular as you might think. Plenty of people prefer apartment living.

Me too. I take the sawzall to it and burn the old stuff in the garage woodstove. We bought when everything crashed and rent is more than our house payment

Take out a wall and change the layout.

Ah see your thinking as a non US person. In the US referring to an apartment is always in regards to renting.

I guess if you're lucky (and/or rich) you could make it work

I don't think one is better than the other, i live in an apartment and i enjoy that, but if i could pick i rather have a house with a garden.

You probably never had neighbors with multiple kids they never go out with and just let them run around and scream all day inside. It's really not fun never having your silence and getting woken up at 7 in the morning on a sunday.

In what universe is an apartment better than a house?

by zweimann 1 week ago

When you live in the UK and aren't poor enough to get council housing but still too poor to afford a house.

When you don't want to do any yard work or maintenance

I prefer to own assets that increase in value, instead of funding someone else's retirement and having nothing to show for it in the long term.

Average rent prices in Knoxville are $1700 a month vs my $683 mortgage. No bugs, no rats, a whole yard which feels more like a garden than artificial grass on a balcony lol.

always better .. Could be that people have different values when it comes to these things? I prefer apartments right now. We got thick 6 foot walls between rooms, amazing sound insulation for floors, and maintenance handles any problem we have. I don't gain anything from being slightly farther from my neighbors.

Yes, always better. Look at what I am saying; to have your own living space with a reasonable distance between you and people who may not blah blah blah... It is always better. Always.

It is always better if that's the only factor. But it isn't. Apartments mean you aren't tied to one location and maintenance handles all your problems. They are also much more affordable if you don't care to have much space. Houses have benefits too obviously, ones you mentioned and more. But they can be expensive if something breaks, you are tied to one location, etc. It depends on what you value more. I like to move around every year or two, I don't like being tied down. The benefits of a house don't outweigh the cons for me so I won't buy one yet.

I'm not arguing about the benefits of apartments. I'm arguing that it is always better to have your own living space with a reasonable distance between you and people who may not have the same habits, timetable or opinions about garbage/mental health/noise/politics/drugs/etc.
