I spent half my 20s in dorms and big houses with roommates. Awesome time, met a lot of cool people that remain friends to this day. I don't know why people aspire to get their own house/apartment, its really boring.

Maybe you are dating a screamer, and she's self-conscious about all of your flatmates hearing her moan all night? Or you are dating people who are themselves tired of sharing their living space with a bunch of flatmates, and are eager to experience some quiet, romantic, privacy? Maybe you wanna listen to death metal at 2am while you do Crossfit in your living room. Easier to do with a free-standing home. Maybe you carefully meal prep, and are tired of your stoner roommates' random GUESTS eating your food. Maybe you have met a few married couples who are swingers. They're probably more comfortable coming over a private residence for an S&M party rather than a shared living space, with people they haven't vetted. Or maybe you want to start a family and have children (GASP, who does that, right?). It's always interesting to me, seeing so many HN posters that correlate "living like sardines in a can" with "not being boring".
