Generally people move into apartments when they are just starting their careers or looking to live on their own for the first time. After a while, they may move to a more spacious apartment or to a condo that that has additional square feet than their apartment. Many married couples begin their life together in an apartment or condo.
Then life happens and things change. The newlywed couple has a baby or plans to have children — they need more space. While living in an apartment you may want to own a dog— he requires a yard to play in and sidewalks for daily walks. Young people who are well on their way to successful careers may be ready to invest in property.
