Quote History Quoted:
Apartments/condos are the worst of living situations.
Noise, water leaks, parking, fees/associations, and they tend to attract the dumbest people in society.

Our condo has a poured concrete substructure and very thick walls. Some sound travels (mostly footfalls. no voice or music), but overall it's really quiet. The best part is they're almost all second lake "homes" for the rich and shameless, which means we live in a half vacant building (there are only five units to a building, four buildings) for seven or eight months out of the year. When they are here, our neighbors are older, successful and like to share good food and drink. It's actually kind of a cool arrangement.
If you were blindfolded and led in, you'd never know you were in a condo. Two stone fireplaces, two decks (one off the master), Italian porcelain tiling and hardwood flooring, granite surfaces and Viking appliances on 1,700 sq feet...with panoramic glass looking out on the lake. They rarely come up, and when they do the units almost never reach the MLS.
Not all condos are created equal.
