I've been living in a small one bedroom apartment in a modern 16 floor building for a bit over a year now. The only time I hear my neighbors is when they're taking their dogs out for walking, you can hear them in the hallway. The hot water pressure is better than any house I've lived in in the past. I have a beautiful view outside and my own balcony. These are just some complaints about apartments I've heard from other people.

The reason I compared a nice apartment to a meh house was to be closer in cost, but I agree and would also prefer a nice apartment over a nice house.
