USA bias I guess: they consider apartments undesirable, only to be tolerated by the younger and/or poorer - but families are expected to try for a house.

  People who live in apartments in the US tend to move to another apartment frequently, either to get a better unit, to avoid a sharp rent increase, or to move to another neighborhood. We moved 7 times over a 20 year span.

    Young people do move often but, once they settle and buy their family apartment, they are just as static as occupants of any other type of dwelling.

    That sounds super stressful. Especially since moving is considered one of the most stressful moments in life.

      It's definitely something you adapt to - I moved 7 times as a kid growing up with my family (one of those being overseas) and now it's something I actually look forward too when the comes around.
