[quote=Anonymous]I love apartments and can't understand obsession with SFHs much less town-homes. I hate gardening, house repair and climbing stairs 50 times a day. Yet, there are people here that would rather live in 1400 sqft 4-level town-home than 1600 sqft condo. I just don't get it. But I am an immigrant, and like virtually every person I every knew as a child/young adult, I grew up in an apartment building and took it for granted that this is how people were supposed to live.

As a rule, apartments have better layouts. You have a much better shot of having a view. There are likely to be brighter during night because there are a lot of lights nearby. There are likely other buildings nearby which increases density which makes businesses set their shops nearby which increases walkability. I don't get the noise issue - never really had that problem. Even though buildings are supposedly not family friendly, they are so big that there will always be plenty of other kids just an elevator ride away.[/quote]
