That's nice, but it's important to remember that (regardless of your living situation) you are really just benefiting from an increase in the price of a leveraged asset, where the interest is backstopped and subsidized by the Federal government. If you had taken your down payment, and all subsequent principle payments, and invested them at 5x-10x leverage in a stock portfolio over the same time period, how would the returns compare?
