Townhouses count? One side I can hear on the stairs (must be a mech warrior to stomp like that!) other side occasional arguments and some plumbing noises. The lonely dog in the next block is more annoying.

People who live in apartments, do you hear your neighbours or do they hear you? I’m considering moving into one some day, but if I can hear the neighbours’ every move and they can hear mine, it’s a no from me. Staying over in one and I can hear doors slamming, noises I’d rather not hear.

Hate apartments but I’m bias because I can’t have my studio in an apartment.
Plus I grew up in public housing ghetto apartment block.
Yeah it’s probably more the 2nd one now that I think about it.

it really depends on the construction

I live in an apartment. I think I lucked out, I can’t hear my neighbours in their apartments; just in the building hallway. I can hear Sydney Road more clearly than I can hear my neighbours lol
I am on the top floor though, but I’ve never ever received any complaint about being loud.
I’m used to apartment living though, I got used to running into my neighbours and the general noise level of Brunswick. I feel safer than if I was in a house, less likely to be robbed.

Not in my current apartment but it’s a bit unusual in construction. Previously yes. It’s never really bothered me, if it’s a nice enough place I find it kinda nice to hear people around.

I’ve lived in many apartments and it’s quite variable. I agree with Seagoon it depends on construction. Currently I don’t hear a damn thing even if in the hallway can hear my neighbours loud music. I’ve also lived in an apartment where I could hear my upstairs neighbours footsteps, my across-the-hall neighbours’ wailing (he was quite unwell), and it had double height, full wall glass as the outside wall, and I could hear the voices of people on the street. That apartment almost drove me insane and I had to break the lease and leave early and significant cost.
