The bathrooms effect
Bathrooms drive cost more than bedrooms. A 5 bedroom home with 3 bathrooms sits around $200–$300. Add another bathroom and it moves to around $225–$335.
House vs apartment
For the same number of bedrooms, an apartment is usually a little quicker to clean than a house — less floor area and often fewer living spaces. Building access, lifts and parking can offset some of that saving.
