Some people prefer an independent house and others prefer apartment and state the advantages and disadvantages of each. Give your opinion.

Answer:- Mass migration to cities and metros has severely stressed the available resources in these places, the highest being on the availability of land and accommodation. One of the solutions is creating multi flat system based buildings.

Apartments are the most popular option in today’s metros. Over the past few years multi storied buildings for flats have sprung up all around the cities. They come in various sizes and amenities, primarily based on available budget and requirements. These apartments are far more affordable as compared to individual housing. This is one of the key reasons why most people prefer these. There are many other benefits of staying in apartments. These include security, out sourcing of maintenance activity, increased socializing, and having shared amenities like gymnasium parks, community centre etc. There is also more interaction and socializing among the apartment dwellers. Children enjoy the most as they make many friends of same age group residing in the same apartment complex.

However, individual houses have their own advantages which cannot be over looked. There is far greater privacy and flexibility in independent houses. There is always scope for expansion of house or adding extra blocks. If rented out, these extra rooms could become very decent revenue generators. Also there is little disturbance in independent house. One is the master of his own wish and there are no association rules to abide by.

All said and done, it’s not easy to own an individual house in today’s world. Apartments stand out as affordable solution with very beneficial features. They are indeed more preferred over independent houses.
