Thinking of moving to a flat. Please tell me the pros and cons.

[GirlScoutCookies]

I’m thinking of moving to a ground floor flat from my 3 bed semi. It’s a brand new flat(Still being finished) and I’m contemplating it due to disability and wanting to be on one level.

I’ve been considering a bungalow too as was my original plan but for various reasons including the maintenance of a garden, I’m leaning towards this flat,

It’s 5 minutes from a train station and offers more buses than my current home and is closer to the city which is very helpful as I don’t drive.

I haven’t lived in a flat since I was 9 I was raised in a top floor flat and loved it as a child but I’m wondering if I’ll still love it as an adult.

Any opinions/thoughts would be much appreciated.

TIA

This is simply not true. There are few things more irritating on MN than posters who quote their opinion as fact. I think bungalows are for old people but I acknowledge some may disagree. I live in a flat and love it. It's a vicorian conversation and the rooms are massive with high ceilings. Yes, there is a bit of noise from neighbours but you could get that anywhere. It does of course depend on your area and the neighbours. Good Luck @GirlScoutCookies in your new home.

I would love to live in a flat, but I would never do it.

All you need is one noisy or bad neighbour and your life would be hell.

No control over ground rent or maintenance charges.
