Living in a detached house has disadvantages and advantages. In my opinion, the most important advantage is independence. When you live in a detached house, you don't need to worry about what your neighbors will tell when you throw a party with loud music. On the other hand, this independence can be a disadvantage. When you leave for a holiday, nobody takes care of your house. You can easily be robbed, because everyone can see that there is nobody at home.
The second advantage is a lot of places to live. In a detached house, usually you have more space than in a block of flats. You have your own garden, you always have a place to park your car, but you have to do everything yourself. You have to mow the lawn, to undercut trees, and to fix everything in your home on your own. Of course you can hire someone who does these things, but for some people it is a serious disadvantage.
However, in a detached house you can feel like you're in your own castle. Nobody disturbs you, but also nobody helps you too. Your house usually is in the suburb. There is cleaner air and a prettier environment than in the center of cities where usually blocks of flats are built. In the suburbs, you need to have your own car, because usually there is no bus stop, and you have to walk for a few kilometers to the nearest one.
I don’t live in a detached house, but I think it is a good place to live, and to my mind, living there has more followers than opponents.
