Apartment living certainly has its benefits. Advocates stress the financial attributes in relation to rent fees vis-à-vis mortgage payments as well as maintenance costs that generally fall in the landlord’s lap – not to mention the worry-free part of not having to take part in most of the upkeep. But there are other aspects to apartment living that you may not be quite aware of.

Seven Things You May Not Know Regarding Apartment Life

• Living in an apartment complex is not a modern-day development. Researchers credit Ancient Rome to the idea that had the vast majority of people residing in what highly resembles our own era’s apartment buildings.
  
  
• Many apartment residents erroneously believe they are completely covered for damages by their landlord’s insurance. In most cases, if a renter’s belongings are stolen or damaged, the landlord’s insurance would not cover the loss.
  
• According to an October 2017 study conducted by Apartment List, Inc, the average price for a one bedroom apartment in New York, NY is $2,090, while the average price for a similar apartment in Houston, TX is $810.
  
  
• ¼ of all apartment residents are below the age 30 mark, with middle age and senior residents not lagging far off.
  
  
• Cat owners who live in high-rise apartments need to take extra care about the syndrome that affects felines. Cats can fall from an open window when attempting to trap prey.
• Apartment buildings and complexes are a large part of the US economy, providing more than a million and a half in related jobs, adding close to $200 trillion to the country’s wealth.
  
  
• Dogs confined to the relative small spaces in an apartment unit need to be given special outdoor and stimulation time by their owners.
