In some places, apartments are popular due to limited space, high pollution, and population density, making them a more practical housing option. On the other hand, in areas where land is abundant, houses are preferred for their outdoor space. For example, countries like Japan have high-rise apartments. In urban centers, due to limited land availability, suburban areas in the United States have more single-family homes.
