A house or an apartment?
A lot of people like to live in a house. On the other hand, others prefer living in an apartment. Personally, because I live in a small town, I prefer a house.
A house has many advantages compared to an apartment.
Firstly, I can mention size. If there is enough land, you can build more rooms or floors. Depending on your requirements, you can extend the existing rooms. For example, where I live a lot of families are spreading out their homes, something that it's impossible with an apartment.
Secondly, a house enables you to have pets more comfortably. Actually, in an apartment it's possible to have dogs or cats; however, sometimes they are very stressed or sad. Again, in my small city it is common to see pets in many houses, some with their own kennel.
Thirdly, I could mention privacy. Although an apartment could be private, it's just possible in a big city. In a small town, a house is more private and you can make many things without worrying about your neighbors. Listening to music and having parties are possible.
Finally, I can talk about things that we can have inside our home. In an apartment, we have little space to have our personal things. On the other hand, in a house it's possible to have more things and maybe, building more rooms to keep them in.
In conclusion, for me it's better to live in a house than an apartment.
