Living in an apartment has its pros and cons.
Since my alternative was living in a dormitory a few years ago, I’ll take living in an apartment any day of the week.
However, I have friends that live in houses and there are some things that I like about having a backyard or even a garage for instance. But then I like how apartments have amenities that houses do not. Unless you get a house with a pool or pay to put one in, you’re not as likely to find one at a house as you would be going to a random apartment complex in my city at least. My apartment complex not only has a swimming pool but it also has a gym. On top of that, if there’s anything wrong with your apartment inside you can easily call the office to get somebody to come out and fix it for you. That’s the nice thing about living in an apartment not worrying about paying to get your plumbing fixed or even your air conditioner fixed. The apartment office handles all of these requests themselves. But I needed to get my air conditioner fixed. They called the heating and cooling company and they were out there the next day. I can’t speak for all apartment complexes but the one that I live in isn’t isn’t half bad. It’s much better than living in a rental house and having things in your agreement saying that you’re responsible for one thing or another. Some landlords in houses will demand that tenants pay for plumbing repairs or services.
