Because I lived in apartments for my entire adult life until maybe 2 or 3 years ago, and I can say most apartments suck because of the neighbors. Ya my neighbors across the street from me are awful and trashy but they are not directly above me or one wall away from me.
Your neighbours don't suck, your insulation sucks. Any time I had annoying neighbours, 9/10 times it was poor insulation. Sonic insulation is hugely important.
We moved into a concrete building and then another and then another. The horrible neighbors we had in our last wood frame building - Fire's Favourite food! - ensured we're never going back. Now I'm aware I have neighbours but, like bigfoot, you're never really sure they're there.
Sometimes yes sometimes no, I don't hear my current neighbours
I work nights, so it didn't bother me, but my wife said the upstairs neighbors stomp and yell and stuff all the time from like 11 pm till 3 am all the time. When I would confront them, they would blame it on their religion or their small kids. They would talk about how now that the sun is down, they can eat and would celebrate it. After the third time, I started talking about the scriptures of their religion that tell them to respect their neighbors, and then I started reporting it to the leasing office a few times a week.
After they were finally moved out, I was talking to one of the leasing people and complained about how they were loud all the time. They asked why I didn't report it more, and I had to tell them that I would have been calling them every single day at least once a day.
"Why didn't you take time out of your day to help us manage the property, for free, after all the times we did nothing about the reported noise violations??"
Man, apartment owners and landlords are fucking useless...
Most suburbs suck because of the neighbors, too.
Seems the common problem is neighbors.
Its mostly because all of the older apartment 20th ce try or older have wood floors that reverberate lime a drumhead. Newer buildings with concrete construction elminate noise. I dont hear my neighbors ever. Will never go back to an old building.
