| Are you lot on a fixed income? And then movement to an area that is cheaper. I advise that y'all have a very hard look at everything you own and decide whether it is actually worth the cost to motility information technology, or whether it is ameliorate to accept a m sale and supplant everything in one case yous have moved. A move tin be pretty inexpensive if you don't take a lot of stuff with you. The merely matter I would have to purchase new would be a new mattress and a new recliner. Every thing else could be purchase from the thrift store or off of Craigslist (I don't buy upholstered furniture used, otherwise the recliner could come from Craigslist). If there is a Costco near your new location, you can go a very reasonable mattress and recliner in that location, decent quality, low price. Or you lot can order from Costco online and get them delivered to your house. |

| I hated information technology. HATED information technology. I lived in a cheaper apartment. Essentially information technology was a tupperware to go on my stuff in my heed. I never felt "at dwelling house". I worked equally much equally I could to not exist there (corking for saving lotsa money!). My grandparents owned a condo, quiet building with older people. Really well maintained and they loved information technology. After the final i's passing I painted and spruced up the unit. hated hated hated existence there. I still felt like a rat in a cage. Smelled other people'due south smoking/cooking/cleaning products, heard things I don't want to hear. and honestly this really was a nice building with respectful people. I am simply a hermit. and like leaving my door to a individual one thousand with flowers and grass. I would cull the worst house on my babyhood street with 3 worst neighbors we had over 15 years all at once (ane with ii feral children who would run wild in their diapers or nude sometimes trying to bite yous while gardening or getting your post, one horrible gossip who at first had neighbors fighting with ane another and who spent most of her time calling bylaw on things no sane person would- if yous were 5 mins belatedly moving your automobile from shared parking y'all got called on, and the crazy dudes with their trashy mom who partied every weeknight stereos blasting and honking horns until 4 am) then in the nicest apartment condo building with shared hallways/air filtration. In a house I own could change it and so I just don't hear or see them- insulation and heavy drapes for noise, and put up gates/fences. :P |

Well I wouldn't recommend a condo then considering it's not much better than an apartment. A townhouse is going to have stairs for you to get to the bedrooms, which are usually upstairs but you they are quieter than a condo. Then there'due south a manufactured or modular home which is similar having your own house but without the upkeep outside. Many are 55 and older although I don't know how far abroad that is for you. Likewise have you considered a duplex? Me, while I enjoyed living in my own SFH I didn't intendance for all the upkeep once I became a widow. It was difficult getting used to living in a condo with people all effectually me merely on the plus side you lot never feel likewise isolated unless you chose to keep to yourself like I do. |

This may sound silly but when I have those days when I detest living in a condo (which may as well be an flat) I remind myself of the homeless or people who alive in shacks in other countries or those in countries like Syria who have to worry nearly terrorism or being bombed.

Feel free to message me if you and then desire. |

Experience free to message me if y'all so desire. Information technology's not really annihilation to written report. Just general apartment noises that I don't want to hear like people having sex, music I don't similar, kids squealing, boots walking across hardwood floors to a higher place my caput - just normal stuff. |

Smelled other people's smoking/cooking/cleaning products, heard things I don't want to hear. and honestly this really was a overnice building with respectful people. I am just a hermit. and like leaving my door to a individual grand with flowers and grass. I would choose the worst house on my childhood street with 3 worst neighbors we had over xv years all at once (one with 2 feral children who would run wild in their diapers or nude sometimes trying to bite you lot while gardening or getting your mail, i horrible gossip who at first had neighbors fighting with 1 another and who spent most of her time calling bylaw on things no sane person would- if you were 5 mins belatedly moving your car from shared parking you lot got called on, and the crazy dudes with their trashy mom who partied every weeknight stereos diggings and honking horns until iv am) and so in the nicest apartment condo edifice with shared hallways/air filtration. In a firm I ain could modify it and then I just don't hear or see them- insulation and heavy drapes for noise, and put up gates/fences. :P OMG, that is exactly how I experience! I am getting to the point I would well-nigh rather buy a SFH in a worse area than continue renting. I'thou at a crossroads, as you may see from my other posts. I have coin saved, but not enough for a SFH unless I move to more rural area, but I have to piece of work. I can afford a condo, but I don't really want i (too much like an apartment - it IS an apartment, you but own it). I am very confused every bit to what to practice. |

| Domicile owning isn't all information technology'southward cracked up to be either. Neighbours can be strange indeed. They tin be loud, or have loud kids. They might have lots of visitors constantly coming and going and parking everywhere on your street. Nearby traffic can be a nuisance. And so on. A coworker with a house in the 'burbs was recently complaining to me about a lot of self-employed people in his neighbourhood, who have clients and delivery vans, suppliers, etc. coming and going at all hours. That was a new one. No thing where you alive, in that location's a trade off. And renting in an expensive building is no guarantee that your neighbours are going to be civilized, equally the OP points out. |

A coworker with a house in the 'burbs was recently complaining to me almost a lot of self-employed people in his neighbourhood, who take clients and commitment vans, suppliers, etc. coming and going at all hours. That was a new one. No matter where yous live, in that location's a trade off. And renting in an expensive building is no guarantee that your neighbours are going to exist civilized, equally the OP points out. I just don't see how it can every bit loud as sharing walls with someone. I lived in a business firm for many years - granted, it was block construction which is quieter. There were times the neighbors had parties, etc. But it wasn't an ongoing, daily affair. I know at that place is no Nirvana unless you own your own isle, simply afterward having experienced both, I do find SFH living to be more than peaceful. |

I know there is no Nirvana unless you own your ain isle, but after having experienced both, I do find SFH living to be more peaceful. Maybe information technology's but the edifice you're in? At that place are ways to scout out a edifice that would exist quieter. In that location are no guarantees about neighbours, no. But maybe you could endure the renting for a while longer if you found a quieter building. They aren't yet. A unit in a firm with fewer tenants might be an thought worth exploring. Possibly fifty-fifty a basement unit, some are quite dainty. Or one in a quiet residential neighbourhood. Look for a building that has seniors in it. Not a very glamorous lifestyle, true, but it would be serenity. |
