Advantages and disadvantages of living in a house- Please assess my essay

Post by faridhassan »

Q: Some people prefer to live in a house, while others feel that there are more advantages to living in an apartment.
Are there more advantages than disadvantages of living in a house compared with living in an apartment?

A:
Deciding where to live is one of the most critical decisions that everybody makes. Specially, when it come to the permanent residency when the person has to choose between living in a separate house or in an apartment. According to one camp, life in a house would guarantee more personal space privacy than living in a flat. While others think that it is too expensive to live in a private home. Both pros and cons would be analyzed prior reaching an informed opinion.
Firstly, staying at a separate house would ensure better control on your private life style and personal issues. For example, stand-alone building will keep you away from any annoying activities may be held by neighbors. In addition, having a private area gives the resident the flexibility of area usage. This means adding or adjusting any part of the house as per the needs. Thus, it could be concluded that the life in a house is more controllable and luxurious.
On the other side, the cost of living having such free life is very high comparing to living in an apartment. For instance, the price of small house in acceptable location may be triple or quadruple, if not more, the price of a large apartment in a fabulous location. Therefore if you are not rich enough to bear such a high price, your best option would be to choose a relatively far destination which would be another disadvantage of having a separate home. So, the sacrifice that is inherent in living in house decision seems unavoidable.
After analyzing of the above, it is obvious that because of the high cost and the possible segregation from the urban community, the disadvantages of this life overweigh its advantages. I expect that this will remain the case until prices of such real-estates fall down in the future.
