Apartments are attached to other apartments and a house sits alone

A house is a single family unit that stands alone from other buildings. An apartment has many small houses attached. They can be 1 bed room to as many as the apartment complex wants. You also pay rent on an apartment, but for a house you either buy it or you can rent it. If you buy an apartment, people usually call it a condo.

It depends on the kind of apartment you have. There are some apartments that you can treat like a house. (ie: you buy them, you can change them, and you own them) Then there are apartments that most of us have the ones were you pay someone rent and you can't knock down walls or paint. But the real difference is that one you have something to show for all the money in spent at the end of the year.

a house is where on family dwells. An apartment is a building where multiple families will reside. A person owns their home meaning they can add on to it, change things to it and take care of the yard. A person living in an apartment cannot do those things. They do not won the place were they live and cannot change the structure.

A house - You dont have somebody living above you or under you, no pool to share, no common cleaning fees to be paid. No yearly wall painting to be paid. No leaking pipes from the unit above. No banging of doors and there is a garden.

a house you buy and pay mortgages every month. an apartment is a place that you rent and pay a rent payment every month. you own the house and a landlord own the apartment complex, you are just apart of it.

a house - you pay the bank and you own it with the bank; you build up equity so when you move you sell your house and keep the equity.
an apartment - is something you rent; it's not yours, you have no equity - you are paying someone else who owns the property and gets the equity.
Hope that helps.

Apartments=neighbors you can spit on.
House=what little privacy you might want sometime in life.
