If you are lazy like me....go for an apartment but do not rent it as it is a criminal waste of money.

I would prefer a house if I really did have so much money to buy one. Probably I will move into a house before my retirement. For now I am happy with my apartment. Though not very cheap, it is quite spacious for me and family.

I did love living in an apartment, but with a house you build equity, etc.... although with that comes the upkeep, etc.

As it stands now, many people can't even afford more than renting an apartment with others.

Id prefer a house in the suburbs with a big garden where i can live in peace. As it stands now i can't afford anything

Given the state of the COVID-19 situation, unfortunately lack of affordability Is expected to continue Into the foreseeable future.

IMHO, if you are a young adult or living life alone then an apartment is worth it. If you have a family, a house is ideal since you would mind others instead of just yourself.

I can agree with this, when you're young/single, circumstances can change. Owning the actual property can tie you down, and it takes a long time to sell a house. If you have an apartment, you have the option of moving out if your situation changes (i.e. marrying/kids).

Some apartments are spacious with 3 bedrooms, that can well and truly accommodate a family of four.

A few years ago I would've said apartment to be more involved with the things in the city. But now I would love to live in a small town or even a remote location as long as there is a decent WiFi connection. Bigger population = unsafe, and typically restrictions as far as my rights. Small towns tend to have more respect for the community and the property of others, as well as respect for the police. I also want to be able to grow my own vegetables and become self-sufficient, which is basically impossible to do in the city.
