I would never rent from a complex. Why live among 100% renter. I would much prefer a mix of owners and renters.

When you’re 21 or 24 and single it’s more fun living in a complex with other young, single renters, and most people that age can’t afford to buy. Home owners tend to be a lot more stodgy about things like noise from parties. There’s also a certain safety complexes provide in terms of shadiness. If you have a good private landlord they will beat a complex any day of the week, but a shady landlord is awful. We’ve dealt with both.
There’s pros and cons, although I strongly feel like at this moment in time complexes are far more expensive than private owners and not worth it.
