Male Female

I personally prefer living in a house as opposed to living in an apartment. When I was younger, I used to live with my parents in a house. It was huge. My room was the size of my current apartment. The house provides many benefits. First of all, it is very convenient to have a cat or a dog in the house. Secondly, you are happier in a house because you have closer access to nature. You can have more freedom as well because, as a rule, a house is bigger in size than an apartment. A house normally provides multiple rooms, so every person living in the house has a chance to have his or her own space. Speaking for myself, I would definitely prefer a house to an apartment. Besides, my priority for the future is to live in the village. I consider it more comfortable and reliable to live in the village rather than in the city. So yes, definitely. In my future years, I would give preference to living in a house with all the benefits that it provides.
