Depends on a lot of factors like lifestyle, financial capacity, proximity etc. I personally like the space I enjoy with my house. About a few years back, I rented a high rise condo unit near my workplace. Since I was so near my place of work, I took my,time preparing. Wow it took 35 to 40 minutes to go down the lobby using the lift. After a year when the rent contract expired, balik bahay na ako. The congestion at the elevator was so stressful.
