The apartment wasn't expensive at all. However, I honestly don't think I understand your question. My point is that cleanliness and pest issues are something that's augmented substantially when you increase the amount of people that occupy a living space, especially when said people don't keep their areas clean. Living in a house, I obviously would be able to keep pest issues to a minimum because I control what goes on in my space. Living in an apartment, I was unable to do that, and I had to deal with pest issues even though I was very clean. That bothered me a lot.
I agree- how many apartment units are in your building makes a big difference. My current complex has a 2+2 layout. One unit upper, one unit lower and a deck connects my side with the other side's upper and lower units. Noise is nonexistent since I don't share any common walls and I'm in an upper unit. Compare that to some of the dorm style units with neighbors on all sides. No noise issues, trash issues, crap like that.
