Buy An Apartment Or House: Which Is The Best Option?

When we are designing our life project and looking for ways to have greater stability for the future, we always think about the place where we are going to live. That is when we begin to question what is better, to buy a house or an apartment.

At Prestige Maple Heights we believe that this depends on at least 7 aspects that we are going to analyze today.

Factors to consider before buying a house or apartment

Available space: Generally, apartments are smaller than independent dwellings. If you are thinking of having children or already have them, or if you like large spaces for comfort, the house is a better option.

• Price: Definitely, the best alternative will depend on the budget that the person has. The idea is to opt for a residence that suits your income levels so as not to over-indebt yourself or run the risk of defaulting on your financial commitment to the bank, if you bought the house or apartment with a loan.
• Pets: In many apartment buildings it is not possible to have pets or the space available for them is very little. In a pet friendly condominium like the ones in Prestige Maple Heights we have a park for your puppies or cats to play freely.
• Security: If you think that buying an apartment is safer than owning a house, you should reconsider. All Prestige Maple Heights condominiums have a 24/7 security system with cameras and private officers at the entrance.
• Privacy: In an apartment there is the discomfort of having neighbors above and below; those above make noise to me, and I perhaps bother those below. It is even common for walls to be shared with the neighbor next door, this generates noise between the immediate neighbors and lack of privacy.
• Parking: In an apartment building, parking spaces are usually located 50 meters or more from the main entrance to the building. In addition, sometimes they do not have a roof, so the transfer from the parking lot to the entrance of the building could be very uncomfortable and it becomes more complicated if you go with loads (such as bags from the market, for example) or if it is raining. In a Prestige Maple Heights condominium, the garages for 2 vehicles are part of the house; You will have maximum comfort and closeness.
• Greater independence: Finally, the houses in a condominium are much more autonomous than an apartment in a building.

To show, a simple example: If you live in a tower apartment, and in the apartment above mine there was a leak, you would most likely be affected; the water would flood your apartment and you would have little chance of stopping the flooding in a short time, because the stopcock of the apartment where the leak originated depends on the owner being found, and if the stopcock of the entire building is closed, all the neighbors would run out of water. In your house, those aspects are independent.

If despite these 7 reasons, you still doubt whether buying a house in a condominium is the best option for you and your family, contact us immediately. We can advise you and clarify all your doubts. We await your call!
