You will pass them just inches away from your own body. They may not have masks on. They may be talking or even coughing. In an apartment bldg, no matter how nicely designed or how well kept, you really can never be cleaner than your dirtiest neighbor. It’s a fact. Pests travel through the hollows in walls. Or out in the halls. They come in with someone’s groceries. They wander, nest, breed. This is why most apartment blogs do have regularly scheduled exterminators and a good cleaning staff, but residents can never be free of roaches and other pests. You will also hear your neighbors. Because you will be closer to other people than you are in your own home, you may be constantly annoyed with the habits of your neighbors that you may have been unaware of in your own home.

It speak from experience. I grew up in a single family home on Long Island NY, as an adult I lived in several different apartments in NYC, now I live in my own house in NY and my own house in TV. The house is definitely more work but so worth it.

Building to modern construction. The idea that these new buildings will be invested with pests is laughable. . I alternate winters between Miami Beach and Hawaii in modern building, never once have I had a roach, as for noise with the newer building unless you there cranking it music up to the level that the police are called , you only here in hallway . I also own a condo in a 21 year old building in Boston ,twice a year building pest control , no noise from neighbors and never smelled food cooking . I’ve had my older aunt living there no problems and she loves sitting in lobby , talking to younger people and she’s not as lonely as she was in house
