There is no doubt that for most people, a house with a garden is the ideal home, but in reality many people fall short of that ideal. This is especially true at a time when real estate prices are skyrocketing. In many cases, the only alternative is to live in a conventional apartment. However, it is also true that there are problems with this that must be taken into account.

First of all, of course, is sufficient space, especially if there are many people living there. Sure, humans are social creatures, but the fact is that we all need a break from each other from time to time. We want our own corner where we can retreat to when we need it and be alone with our thoughts. But this is basically impossible in an apartment because there is not enough space. Therefore, it is only suitable for small families.

Then there is the fact that you are very close to your neighbors. The walls and fences of prefabricated houses are usually not very sturdy. This, of course, means that almost every sound can be heard. Thus, we must expect our neighbors to know everything about what we are doing, and they will know about us. Of course, this may not be pleasant for everyone, but there is nothing we can do about it.

We must remember that our exposure to fresh air is limited because we have no garden to venture outside. Without a cottage or villa, this is especially true on hot summer days. Then we would have to spend our free time on the balcony, which may not be pleasant, especially when the sun shines all afternoon.

Common spaces can also cause problems. For example, someone is in the house and he/she is constantly making the place dirty or not cleaning it well. Also, for example, damage to doors, elevators, or letterboxes may not be addressed. Thus, it is clear that flats are not a desirable solution.
