Nah, I don't want to own because I like having a landlord to do maintenance. I rent a townhouse, and I love it. It's got all the benefits of having my own house and all the benefits of renting an apartment.
Air con dies? Open a service request, get it fixed for free. Microwave stops working? Open a service request, get it fixed for free. Water pressure in the shower drops to nothing? Open a service request, get it fixed for free.
Also, I don't have to do any groundskeeping. I don't have to mow a lawn or trim plants. If there's a hailstorm, I don't have to lift a finger or pay one red cent to replace the roof.
Oh, and since our summers can be terrible, I get access to a swimming pool at no extra charge (technically, it's not free, but my rent is certainly cheaper than the cost of a down payment on a house + monthly mortgage payments + cost of installing a swimming pool), and they even maintain the pool for me..
