Somedays I love having a house
, you can decorate It the way you want, paint the walls any color you want and turn up the music loud! Other days I am wanting to live In an apartment again, so when things break down I can just call the landlord to come and fix it and I don’t have to worry about it....LOL.. and the utility bills wouldn’t be as much as they are when you have a home. BUT! thats just when I am having those bad days and things start breaking down, I wouldn’t trade my house for an Apt.
House for now, condo or small attached single family home when we‘re older. Something we can close up, forget about and travel.
That sounds good also Cynthia
Wasn’t thinking when I got older..lol, I’m In denile(sp)hahaha
Owning a house. IMO, renting an apt. is throwing away your money. If you can, owning is the way to go IMO. Sure you have more headaches but I’ve been on both sides and I hope I am fortunate enough to never go back to an apt.
Cynthia, when we retire we plan on down sizing as well to travel too. Our home requires lot’s of maintenance. (That’s one of the headaches I was referring to!)
We live in a mobile home on its own country lot, i probaly prefer a house, but i dont want to have to clean a big one. But i hate apartments.
I prefer a roof over my head that does not leak. And preferably a roof I own. Beyond that, I just don’t care.
I love my house. I have lived in a mobile home and in an apartment. I really do prefer a house. I still have young kids so someplace where they can run around and disturb the neighbors is great.
House or apartment. I lived in a condo for about 5 years and the costs just kept mounting. Dues once a month, kept going up, and occasionally there is a - I forget what you call it - where they get money from all the condo owners for some project, like a new roof or something. Huge expenses over and above the mortgage that kept rising all the time.
I’d do another condo because they‘re often located in the coolest parts of cities, but only if I suddenly won the Lottery or something.
I rent a 2 story home.........porch on the front and back.its on a small quiet quaint street of a small college town. Its not mine, but I do well in making it feel like home.
Ok, someone please tell me, what does “attached” mean? Attached to what?
I’ve ived in in everthing except a condo. Now I have a house in the woods surrounded with gardens and huge trees until the divorce is final. I prefer a single family dwelling, but if I have to live in an apt ever again, I hope my neighbors are considerate.

I love my house. it is also an attached single family town home and I love it
I think attached means either a duplex or townhome......
I own and I prefer a house. I have lived in a condo and loved the convenience of not having to shovel or do yard work. I also have lived in an apt but didn’t like that it wasn’t mine. However the upside to renting is you get to try different kinds of places if you like moving alot. I don’t!
I rent in a very expensive area of the country. My brother’s mortgage for his two-story 4 bedroom home is less than my rent. I would love to own anything as long as the neighbors were quiet. I would be scared to live in the middle of 4 acres unless I had a couple of big dogs.
