I think the general writing is fine.
Your essay has good structure and your grammar is good.
The only problem I find is "researches" which I think "research" is uncountable noun.

However, it's a bit short.
Based on my experience, I think it's easier to get a high score if you write a bit longer.
(Around 400-500 words for writing task2)
You can do this by adding your own personal experience into the essay.
For example, " I know this by living in an apartment complex in *insert your city* " or something like that.
I used this strategy in my last TOEFL attempt which I scored 29 in writing.

Hope this help.

Thank you for your comments.
For some topics I am often short of ideas this is why I cannot exceed by far 300 words... :| I think that I will invent stuff :)

Yes, you can invent stuff up. Unlike application essays, TOEFL grader won't check the validity of your essay. :-D

Adding imagined experience sounds good. I will try it next time.

But, if you can think of example from your own life, I would prefer to do so. For me at least, when I'm making something up I also have to waste time to think does it make sense (but, yes, it's better than nothing and definitely ads to the word count)
