RE: Apartment or house? - futterbuckz - 07-15-2022
Renting is unfortunately the only viable option for most families living in large Canadian cities as of today. I would need to push at least $300K/year to afford a 3 bedroom in Vancouver/Toronto, with obscene mortgage payments. Suburbs are not much cheaper. Should have bought 10 years ago... good news for me is that the market is currently crashing by up to 25% in my area, so I might finally be able to buy something soon. In the meantime, it's renting all the way and investing my savings -- which gives me about the same/better ROI than real estate would.
Either way, I'm frankly unsure if paying $8K in taxes every year + maintenance + ever increasing insurance is worth the trouble of becoming an owner. Now I know the situation is very different in rural areas and other countries, so take this with a giant grain of salt.

I say, an apartment. Well, you'd better buy an apartment to start with, the costs are lower and the maintenance is low.

My parents are building a house right now. Before they bought a plot of land, they made a project. They had help from professionals in creating the project. There are a lot of nuances to take into account when designing a house.

Having a house is much better, you can make noise in your house and you don't have neighbors coming downstairs or upstairs to admonish you. You don't have to constantly look for a place to park in front of your house, because you always have a parking space, and other advantages. For example, when I still lived in an apartment and did repairs, inadequate neighbors from downstairs constantly argued with me about the fact that I do repairs, with the house there are no such problems, recently replaced my interior glazed doors, which I really liked, so no one has never come with a claim.

I think a house suits most people better just to space

A house,
I used to live in a big apartment over a mall and I’m every room all I could hear was people at least 12 hours out of the day. A house is more secluded IMO and gives you more space.

For one person? Apartment, unless the house + yard is rather small. Too much upkeep for one person.
