Difference between apartment and house?

I live in a house and you may be living in a appartment. We know where we live. But there is some typical difference between appartment and house which many of the people do not know. What you feel the diffence between a house and appartment?

Apartment is one part of a whole building - house is a free standing building of a whole
duh

an apartment is semi small and a house is big a apartment you rent a house you own duh

you're looking for differences that people aren't aware of? Lack of privacy, crowded? You can't just step outside to get to your car? There are neighbours on left and right, above and below... but you don't have to shovel snow or cut grass.

or repair ... anything. also, if you lose your income and you have to get out of a lease, it's expensive, but if you get forclosed on... ouch... your done for a while
