Living in apartment settings comes with its benefits and demerits.
Since my other option was to live in a dormitory for a few years, I chose a different residence which was an apartment.
But this is not always everyone’s choice as some of my friends that live in different housing settings are of a different opinion as to what is ideal. The lack of a backyard and garage are deal breakers for some. But then I love the fact that apartments have amenities that are lacking in many other homes. The only difference is when these homes have a pool or have provision for installing one.Otherwise, apartments offer convenience of choice as one can always move from one property to the next until they find what works for them. Additionally, an apartment complex like the one I live in does not only have a swimming pool but comes fitted with a gym too. To crown it all, in case anything goes wrong with your apartment the management steps in to sort it out immediately. The office will send the right expert to fix the issue once they get your call. They take off the stress of handling everything that you would otherwise have to be your responsibility. It doesn’t matter if you need something fixed quickly such as having the cooling system fixed. The manager responds quickly and will call the heating and cooling company who can either come the same day or early the next day. I am not sure this is what happens in all complexes, but at least my apartment building has such an arrangement of convenience. Unlike rental property where tenants are under agreement to take care of all repairs, apartment property owners handle this on their tenants behalf.
