• An apartment is a building. A home is a place. – P.  Fitzgerald

 

• Where I can be naked, both emotionally and physically.
  Marina Del Rey, California

 

• A place where I can be 100 percent me. If I want to make fried bologna with a side of couscous or have a cackling laugh attack watching I Love Lucy, I can, because I’m home.
  Marseilles, Illinois

 

• Home means catching fireflies out on the front lawn with my brother. Those were the best times of my life.
  Cary, North Carolina

​

• Home is that magical spot where grass stains are removed from the knees of pants, Popsicles are always in the freezer, and tuna casserole actually tastes good.
  Tustin, California

 

The Benefits of Renting a House vs  an Apartment:

1. More space, including outdoor space. Typically, a house is going to provide you with more room inside as well as outdoor space like a yard. If you've got pets, children or a lot of stuff, this could be a huge incentive.

2. Parking. While many apartments come with a parking spot, a large number of urban apartments, particularly older buildings, don't. If you have a vehicle or two, you may want to look at renting a home with parking.

3. Privacy. Typically, a house is going to afford you a lot more privacy. With no neighbors listening through the walls or complaining about your footsteps in the morning, you have a lot more freedom in a home.
