If you're having a hard time choosing between a house or an apartment, the Checkmate Moving and Storage crew offers a few insider tips. 

Here are a few factors to consider about moving into an apartment or house:

• Pets & Children: If you have pets or small children, then you may want to consider looking at houses over apartments. Houses often feature spacious yards and offer a more private location where your children or pets can be loud and playful without disrupting neighbors. On the other hand, if you're single without any large pets, apartment dwelling may work just perfectly for you—especially if you want to be within close proximity to your neighbors for company. 
• Landlord Interactions: If you prefer the freedom of knowing your landlord isn't nearby, then moving into a house is a wise choice. You'll also likely have more control over aesthetic choices like wall color and landscaping in a house than you would in an apartment. However, if you rent an apartment, you know having a landlord or manager on-site is a plus when you run into problems with faulty appliances or electricity outages. Apartment living offers reassurance with a main office in the complex, whereas choosing to rent a house means you may have to reach out to your landlord in other ways—or else tackle the problem on your own. 

• Cost: When you rent or buy property, prices are largely determined by square footage, which is why an apartment or condo will probably be more affordable than a house. The expert residential movers at Checkmate Moving and Storage recommend comparing budget-friendly apartments and houses side-by-side to see which type of dwelling will give you the most perks for the lowest price. 
• Amenities: Many apartment complexes feature onsite laundry services and workout facilities as well as playground areas or even swimming pools for residents to enjoy. On the other hand, you'll likely have a laundry room in a house and more room to squeeze exercise equipment into a rec room. Compare the amenities for both houses and apartment complexes in your neighborhood to see which option offers the most convenience for you.
