For the most part I actually really love living in apartments. I lived in apartments/condos all the way up until the age of 13, and so when I finally had to learn how to mow lawns and weed flower beds I decided that living in houses was totally overrated. I love that anytime anything happens in my apartment, I can just pick up the phone and ask the landlord to come fix it. Having said that, there are also huge advantages to living in a house... like the fact that when your neighbors are having a kiddie dance party, you don't have to hear the little stomping feet.
