I'm 25 and have hated living in a condo since I was 23 (I've been here since I was 22 fwiw).
I just bought a house. I have ZERO reason to have 3 bedrooms, a 2 car garage and even two bathrooms RIGHT NOW, but in a year that may change. Plus the mortgage on the house is about 400 dollars less than rent + hoa for the condo, and the house is almost double the size.
Sure there will be more shit to deal with if you get a house, but occasionally paying for a repair is well worth not sharing walls with people. There's been a lot of traffic coming in and out of this place (these condos were 250k+ when new, now down to about 90-120k) and I have hated about every second neighbor I've had. Some of them you never hear, some of them it has sounded like girls are straight up getting chainsawed apart at 3am.
Will never deal with that again, and if you have the money to buy a detached home, do it. My condo is MUCH more conveniently located than the house, but fuck it. If I want to go somewhere I have a car and if people don't want to drive out to my place then I really don't want them around lol.
