When kids live in a neighborhood where the homes belong to them and their familes, they tend to stay closer, playing in their own yard or with friends a few doors away. Apartment complexes have a different culture for kids to get around in -- strange halls to roam, new people moving in, friends being temporary, moving away just about the time they get acquaintedI've had clients tell me that their kids calmed down in school after the family bought a house. I know of one little girl beset by sleeping problems while her family was in a temporary renting situation, plus the entire family seemed more susceptible to colds and other ailmentsThe close quarters of apartment structures is acceptable for grown-ups who are often at work all day and can appreciate the benefits of group security.

Renting works in some circumstances, but when you are ready to commit to the community and make a home somewhere, buying your own spot on the earth becomes a fulfilling experience for you and your family.  There are some top level gains from owning your own home such as tax savings. Knowing that the mortgage payment will be the same helps you budget without the stress of potential rent increases. You aren't stressed by landlords highgrading the value of the property by dodging maintenance issues to your discomfort. Your own home is an investment and an equity for your valuation. As the market prices increase, if you choose to sell, you make money. Make this the home of your heart and you don't have to sell when the market appears to have a downturn. Your spot is still stable within the ...
