Construction techniques have improved a lot. I know some people who live in newly built apartments and when the windows are closed you hear basically nothing. Not the neighbors, not traffic, only what happens within your walls. Thermal isolation, heating, cooling is also on point.

Soviet commieblocks have poor construction quality because they needed to pump these out as fast as possible. I've never heard anyone living in an actual commieblock saying that they have thick walls but I've always heard the opposite.

Designs were improved as time went on and modern Russian equivalents have good quality.

Pictured example:

IF you have these nice communal things around you! BIG IF. our block is more a dumping ground for the poor. There are NO communal activities offered, only if you count meeting in the parking lot ..

No heating no water bill? Where are you living sound like utopia. But im living only on earth fuck.

Large balcony, thick concrete and lots of space???

you are describing luxury flats, this has nothing todo with reality in commi bunkers most places

but in the suburbs, you get the freedom of dying when the popsicle stick construction style home you're in finally collapses after an extreme weather event and the monthy energy bills for living in your own detatched box of tissue paper in the middle of a quarter acre of crab grass.

That and the affordable suitcase sized party speakers outside.
