Have you ever lived in an apartment? I think they are more expensive than buying a house.
I have! I really like my self contained housing unit. You?
I enjoyed living in an apartment because of the community. However, neighbors can be very noisy. 
That is true. They may be occupied by several tenants. Usually rented.
Very true, when we lived in an apartment, we had three people in our unit. How do you feel about the atmosphere and parking? I find parking to be a hassle.
I think it really depends on what type of apartment. High rise and mid rise apartments have many stories.
We had a maintenance man who fixed our units if something broke.. Do you have a maintenance department? Will they charge you extra for wear and tear?
I think it would really depend on the owner/occupier and if he chose to do maintenance or not.
We always had to walk to an office and pay our rent. I am sure that's outdated now. I imagine that they would have direct deposit. Do you use direct deposit to pay your rent?
I like direct deposit because then it goes straight into the payee's bank account.
