For those of you who live in apartment buildings, what are the pros and cons of your building? It can be about the structure, people, amenities or lack of, etc.
I say specific to your building, because even though I'm sure most have thin walls, there's other things about living this way.
For me:
Pros:
Good manager
Semi-secure building
Conveniently located via walking distance to things like stores, bank, etc.
Repairs are done pretty quickly, most of the time
Laundry, but the machines aren't great and break down a lot
Cons:
Acoustics make it like a giant echo chamber, you hear every slam or footstep
It's old, built in 1971
No guest parking on site
No street parking for guests or a second car (only 2 bedrooms get a tandem spot to park 2 cars)--meaning not enough of it or too many restrictions
High turnover
Remodeling apartments every time someone moves out, making it like living on a construction site
Gardeners use leaf blowers to blow dust on your car
Maintenance guy does sub-standard work
Unfortunately, the cons outweigh the pros.
You can say how long you've been there, if you want to move, and anything specific about your UNIT also if you want.
I wish I had more daylight, but I face north and the other building is blocking most of the light.
