I recently moved into a 1bdr apartment here in Brisbane, right in the city centre, and I absolutely love it. I've sold my car, as everything is walking distance (aside from the Gold Coast, which I catch a train to get to), and my neighbours are all awesome people -- they had a housewarming party for me! On the other hand, I don't have a family to raise, and while its very big (big lounge, a huge balcony looking over the city, two-entrace bathroom) if that was the case I could see why others would choose a house; here in Brisbane, the apartments that are big enough for a family either don't exist or do but are more expensive than renting a house anyway.
