Is it better for Canadian immigrants to choose a single house or an apartment?

No one is absolutely excellent. Detached houses and apartments have their own advantages and disadvantages and are suitable for different people.

Independent house: suitable for families with children; Old people have enough space to live when visiting relatives; In the long run, there is great potential for appreciation (because the appreciation of houses is mainly due to the rise in land prices). However, the total price of independent houses is high and the burden of buying houses is large; The burden of maintenance is also heavy (the labor cost in Canada is extremely expensive, and some maintenance work must be done by yourself).

Apartment: the location is good (all apartments in Canada are in the city center); Suitable for young people and small families; Low total price and low burden; There is a gym and swimming pool, which is very comfortable; 24-hour security, high security; Almost no maintenance burden; Easy to rent, high rental income. However, the unit price of the apartment is high, and many people think it is not worth it; There are management fees; The house is small and there are few rooms (Canada rarely has three bedrooms).
