Interesting info showing apartment living in Europe. Where do you live and is it by choice or due to financial reasons. Also do you own or rent? I live in a house in Dublin, Ireland and luckily own.

  4. I own apartment in Lithuania. I like living near the town center and house prices in those neighborhoods are ridiculously high.

  6. I own an apartment (renting it out currently) and live in another apartment with my mom, where we split costs 50/50

    Can’t say it’s by choice, because buying a house today is too expensive, but I don’t think I’d want to move to a house

    – house is higher maintenance

    – houses are usually further out from the city center, I live a meters from it and I can get everything by foot

    – living in an apartment is cheaper

  7. I grew up in a single-family detached house. Now as a student I live in a flat.

    At the moment I would rather live in a nice city flat than in a house in the countryside. I see how much work my parents have with a house and garden, I’m too lazy for that.

  8. I own an apartement and while i like the idea of a house, i dont like mowing lawn, showeling snow and the rest of the stuff involved.
    So unless i can afford a smart house and a housekeeper, i will stick to my apartement.

  10. I highly doubt that the % for romani is correct. Before comunism around 80% of the population lived in a village. The comunists industrialized the country and moved a lot of ppl into aprtments in cities. Rural population now is around 40% and our cities are mostly apartment buildings.

  11. Although i technically live in a house, in Cyprus, it is common for the children to build on the same family plots as those of the parents. So for example, you have parents living in the house they built, and when one of their children has the money to build or has a family, they build on top of the parents house. So technically, you can say it is a house, but also an apartment.
