hi again,

its the mad single woman in spain........

this probably sounds a silly question, but would i be safer in an apartment/condo or a villa ?

i am talking about renting and if i were to buy in the future.

common sense says in an apartment but then common sense isnt always whats right.

thanks for any possible replies

I have lived in both. Apt is safer but I felt trapped. At least in my house I can have dogs and cats, a garden to sit in, my own pool etc. People in apts tend to spend far more time away from the apt, and I can happily spend a week in my house without going out. If you have good security and good guard dogs then I would go for a house. You do tend to have higher bills for upkeep though.

hello mad single woman in spain!!

apartment with kids - I don't think so. They will need space and privacy and freedom and you won't get that with an apartment/ condo. Go for a villa but make sure it is in the right place..... ignore common sense as we did.
