I lived separately from my parents when I was 27. Currently, I live in a house that my father owns, but it's not too far from his house. I live alone. My home is a single-story house, not very large, but very comfortable. I love my rooms, they're private. I live in a house, not an apartment. I live alone because I haven't married yet.
