As an add on to the previous reason, being able to spend time within a smaller environment should not be taken as a negative. Less space translates to less time for cleaning and upkeep and who wouldn't love the thought of that? Importantly, the fewer things you have to clean, the more inclined you will be to ensure that your apartment remains that way. Tidying up houses can exhaust a majority of your time and specifically, can eat into your weekend. With an apartment to walk into, you will not have to bother about scheduling maintenance or painting your floor before the holiday season dawns. With an apartment space, you and your family will be presented with more time for yourselves which is quite the breath of fresh air in this rat race called life.
