Apartment Compared To Single Unit Houses

By Kenneth Kelly


Because of the development, a lot of changes were made in our society. In includes the way of living of most people and the types of their dwellings. Most cities today prefer to have apartment houses than a single unit one. Athens oh apartments are very rampant nowadays in some cities.

As mentioned in the preceding paragraph, overpopulation due to the rapid growth of the economy has been a serious problem that every city must solve otherwise loss in economic stability might result. Indeed, the economy of a particular country largely depends on the citizen themselves. If the people in a certain country are poor, it reflects that the country itself is poor.

Government, with the help of engineers and planners, tend to address this problem by creating several dwellings inside a one specific building. Such dwelling is called apartment. By definition, apartment is a kind of shelter part of a one whole building vertically built. It is sometimes referred to as condominium but they differ in some instances.

What a clever idea, indeed. It somehow solved the problem for the meantime. Unfortunately, another set of problems arise since the cost for this types of houses are usually double than the price of ordinary houses built in subdivision. Not only that owner has to pay for their units but also they are required to pay for the maintenance of entire building.

The good things in living in a dwelling like this are, the security is twenty for hours active. You are confident about your safety since there are guards posted at the entrance, exit and even inside the building itself. So without a doubt, anyone who tries to enter the same without any permission will easily get caught.

The privacy and noise is not also an issue. Rules are being implemented in this kind of dwelling so that one will not be a nuisance to the other units. Penalties are also imposed in some cases, or in most cases if the nuisance continued despite effort of some homeowners, they may seek assistance from the authority to get rid of such.

When it comes to privacy, every unit is built with its own water closet and other necessary equipments. The doors are equipped with the latest locking system and being upgraded from time to time depending on the preference of a unit owner. Surveillance cameras are also installed in hallways to insure more security to the residents.

In any case, they may be good but it still depends to dwellers if he or she would choose to live in this kind of dwelling or in single unit house inside a subdivision. After all the security to the latter is almost the same to the former. The only apparent difference is perhaps the distance and convenience.

Another disadvantage for it is that, your space is too limited. For the price you may think that your money is not worth it. Not good for people who have extended family. Anyway, the main purpose of a shelter is to comfort and security to the residents. So as long as you feel confidence in it, you can live wherever and however you want.
