Everyone
dreams of owning a home. The question is what kind of home would be
best for you– apartment or house? Both have their share of
advantages and disadvantages, depending on the needs of home buyers
in Perth and other residential areas.
Compartmentalised
living
Apartments
are generally for single folk or a family of four at most. They cost
less to own than a house. There is a deeper sense of community
because of close proximity to neighbours. Safety is not an issue
since apartments are easy to secure.
In
contrast, high-density
residential areas tend to be noisy, with units close together.
Apartment owners need permission to make changes to their unit.
Apartments don’t appreciate the way houses do, unless they are in a
desirable location or unique in design.
The house to call a
home
Owning
a house makes you the king of your own castle. You can do as you
please with it to match your lifestyle requirements. Furthermore,
being a larger property affords the owner larger capital gains. On
the down side, houses are more costly to maintain in the long run
than apartments.
Everyone’s a
winner
It’s
impossible to weigh the advantages of one over the other because not
everyone has the same needs and circumstances. Therefore, the winner
is the home buyer whose needs are answered by whatever they chose.
The best way to pick a winner is to be realistic and forward thinking
before signing on the dotted line.
