CHOOSING A HOUSE ESSAY

There’s no doubt that choosing a house is a big decision and you want to do it rightly.
A house is a shelter but a home is far more. It’s where you live, relax, entertain friends, bring up families and work. A home is where you spend much of your life, and so choosing a house is an enormous decision.
We need to think of several things before buying a house. For example, it isn’t the same to be single or to have a family. In each situation the needs change.
I think that living in a flat has a lot of good things because you can clean it faster and it can be very cosy. We have neighbours and we can count on them.
On the other hand, the walls in a flat are usually very thin and unfortunately you can listen to your neighbours. You have to respect them because living in a community means that there should be some rules to be respected, such as not to make noise after 10 pm or not to use any electric appliances at night.
In conclusion, I think living in a flat has more disadvantages than advantages but it’s a cheaper option than a detached house.
Nowadays a lot of people are living in big cities because it is very comfortable, as you can find everything you need in everyday life very quickly. But too many people cannot live there because there aren’t enough places for everybody.
People have to live squashed in high buildings.
For me it’s very stressful. I prefer to live in a house in a town or in a residential area because I have a lot of space to park my car, it’s a relaxing place, I can have my own garden, my child has a lot of space to play and it’s safer. Besides, when we need to buy something in the city I take my car and in twenty minutes I am in the city.
Houses in towns or in a residential area are usually bigger than a flat. Sometimes you have a garden and all the rooms have lots of space. I think that this kind of life is healthier.
You have more privacy in one’s home as your neighbours are farther than in a flat and you can feel freer.
