I used to live in an apartment then decided to buy a house for reasons such as wanting to have a yard / outdoor space (wanted to buy a big dog among others), leave city life for suburban life for peace & quiet, family-proof (place where I’d want hypothetical kids to grow up in), etc. After experiencing both I prefer house over apartment.

    Second option. My apartment is in an apartment complex - so I guess what you’d call a high rise unit (one of those places with pool, gym, etc. for the residents). I was renting it while living there permanently but when I bought the house I was made an offer to buy it out (they calculated the price based on the amount of rent paid, property value, etc.) and I chose to take the offer so I also still have that apartment and use it quite often when I have work until late at night in the city and stuff.
