I used to live in an apartment then decided to buy a house for reasons such as wanting to have a yard / outdoor space (wanted to buy a big dog among others), leave city life for suburban life for peace & quiet, family-proof (place where I’d want hypothetical kids to grow up in), etc. After experiencing both I prefer house over apartment.
House.
I want to play music at a reasonable volume and not worry that I’m bothering someone. I also never want to hear my neighbors’ music.
It’s a sad fact that much of the problems people have with apartments is simply due to their low quality construction. It’s perfectly possible to build a sound-proof apartment.
