• Privacy: one of the main reasons the new couple wants to go to a new home is the privacy.

• Area: when you go for the row house, you need to select a better area for it. a place from where you can get everything easily and those property are costly. But the other one which is cost-effective is far away from the city. On the other hand, flats are available everywhere and you can choose to buy any place you seem feet.
• Space: flats have limited space, you can get a big balcony and turn it into greenhouse but apart from there, you cannot do anything else. On the other hand, row house has a garden and a place for their vehicle. They can even build a room upstairs if they want to expand. They have total control of the house.
• Economical: it’s a fact that flats are more economical than a row house. You don’t have to worry about piles of paper that need to be approved before you lay one brick. In flat, all the papers are come prepared and don’t need to pay for anything else as the building owner has taken care of it.
• Maintenance: flats get much cheaper maintenance cost than own house. Also, they just need to pay this amount to the building owner and they will take care of the rest. If any day you have face problem like a broken pipe, you can call the building management and they will send a handyman. Maintaining a row house is a bit costlier in that term.
