Counter point: (I lived in apartments/condos for 20+ years)

I live in a SFH now, love that I can simply walk 5 feet from my kitchen to the back yard and have no noise and fresh air.

No noisy neighbors above me constantly dropping things on the floor, no smelly hallways, or people leaving garbage in common areas.

I don't have to wait for an elevator, or hope that it doesn't have maintenance issues.

Maintenance takes no hours a month other than a call to a handyman to fix various issues in the house.

I could go on, but to each their own, pursuit what makes you happy!




Yeah, I too call a handyman everytime neighbors above me think of dropping something on the floor!
