Once you have made up your mind to buy a home, the next question that comes into our mind is “Should I buy an independent house or an apartment ?”
Not considering the cost factor, there are several pros and cons for either option. The decision to opt for an independent house or an apartment depends on several factors such as
• Are you buying in a city to which you have resettled .Normally in this case we would have very few family members around?
• The stage of your life i.e single, married without kids yet, having very young kids, having teens who demands their private room, retired.
• If you have a job like my husband which may require you to travel frequently or which would involve transfer from current location every few years or you are likely to look for careers in other cities in the future.
Well I have not been able to decide on what I need to go for, however each of the options seem to have their pros and cons.
