Do you live in House or Apartment?

If you had all the money in the world, driving distance to work or not & etc scenarios

Would you choose House or Apartment at the end of the day?

My house or apartment preference isn’t information freely available, mr dataminer

A place in the country near a river or lake, ten miles from anyone in each direction if I had the money!..

I'd live in a castle with a moat, and lock myself in it and have food airdropped to me.

Spent a decade in an apartment. The annual rent increases weren't huge, but accumulated.

Now facing semi-annual escrow payment increases due to property tax increases. But at least there's no more arbitrary laundry room price hikes. Or nosy neighbors with thin walls.

Smart Thinking but you forgot to turn off your personal location ;)

I'd rather not have to be surrounded by neighbours top, bottom, left, and right of me; that introduces more trouble than it's worth if just one of them is loud enough.

Currently stuck in an apartment, I'd really love a house just to have more space. I dream of a giant room with heavy duty desks against every wall, one with soldering equipment, one or two for 3D printing, one for regular printing and document management, one with a mounted drill, maybe even a table saw, a belt sander... and in the very middle, one of those zero-g computer chairs you can mount monitors to. And it'd have proper fume extraction for every station that needs it...

(In an actual house designed by an actual architect those things would go in different rooms probably, it's fine as long as everything fits.)

House. Had it built in 2010.

Not gonna lie, guys ... if you don't like to pick up a hammer, don't buy a house.

I live in a cabin, in the woods, by a river.

Even on a new build- there never in the history of houses has one been built that is 100% perfect. Even on the fanciest custom mansions a close examination eventually will find some minor flaws.

If one is going to be a homeowner they really need to learn to be a homeowner. Merely qualifying by the skin of one's teeth, putting on a suit and tie and begging the bank for money and then hanging on for dear life is not being a true homeowner!

I only have lived in houses as I like the space, privacy, social distancing and the ability to do things such as play loud noises or use power tools without bothering neighbors.

I've witnessed people buy a nice house, never give it a coat of paint or weather treat the window frames, or even pick up a measuring tape, and within 15 years its not salvageable.

If you own a house, there is ALWAYS something on the to-do list. ♥♥♥♥ you HAVE to do, especially the seasonal stuff like gutter clearing and you know washing the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ outside of the house.

Apartment, I hate mowing the lawn. Yeah I know, not every house has lawn but most do.

You clearly are living it. The truth is there always is something to do with the house.

Plus one should always have some reserve cash set aside. At some point that roof is going to leak. At some point that water heater is going to go and you wanted a tankless one anyways...

This is true homeownership.
