A $2,500 Rent vs. $2,500 Mortgage?

Make a balanced, scroll-stopping comparison between renting a stylish downtown apartment and owning a modest suburban home, using a fictional illustrative scenario. Split the screen vertically: left side shows a renter enjoying city amenities, right side shows a homeowner gardening and building equity. Use matching camera moves with a 28mm lens, smooth lateral dolly motion, natural morning light on both sides, and polished lifestyle-commercial visuals. Display clearly labeled hypothetical monthly costs in USD without claiming universal results. End with a neutral prompt: “Which lifestyle fits you better?” Include subtle U.S. city and neighborhood details.
