Take it from someone who is autistic, highly introverted and has only lived in apartments in my adult life: you do not ever need to see or interact with your neighbors. It's as optional as with a house. The most I see of my neighbors is that once every few weeks I might stand in the elevator with one of them for 15 seconds.

I'm not sure why you're trying to tell me this. I've got my own experience living in apartments and having neighbours.

Yep, it's a crapshoot depending on your neighbors. Back in my dense living days, things were pretty good, except when the drug dealer moved in next door...

Same applies to some extend to suburban density, but even crappy neighbors are harder to notice... Except the house that does car tuning all the time with a priority on loud revving engines.... Ugh...

Yup. My prior experience with apartments - even single height apartments - is that either you're going to annoy someone with sounds (had a neighbor that worked nights and hated every thing I did when I was home) or you'll be annoyed with someone not being quiet when you personally need it.

Hell I had a house with a neighbor who rented that liked to leave their dog tied up outside at 5pm barking incessantly. Not fun to come home from a day of work with a stressful commute to try to unwind.

I love my quiet.

The instant I step out my door I'm surrounded by people in an apartment. Sorry but nothing you said is true. I'll never live in an apartment again.

Are they just hanging out in the hallway? Are you sure you are in an apartment?
