Do you live in a separate house or an apartment block?

We live in an apartment block having 356 flats, eight flats in each building. Our flat is on second floor. Living in such flats becomes a nightmare if your neighbours are not good people. Fortunately our neighbours are good and always ready to help each other. What is your experience with your neighbours?

I have only every lived in a apartment building for about 6 monts out of my 55 years here on this earth. I really hated it. I can not stand being that close to so many other people. You have so little privacy, everyone sees everything, hears everything.You can not have pets, gardens, kids can not go out and play, you can not go oudoors and just feel free to do what ever you want to do. You must be quit,so you do not disterb others. I live in a house, I have a neighbor on one side of me, and they are not real close to me. I rarly ever see them, do not even know there names.I like to keep to mysel.

I also live in an apartment house. There are some minor problems but more or less our neighbours are OK. We do not meet regularly but they are always helpfull when there is a need. Living in an apartment house has certain advantages in comparision to living in a separate house.

I could never live in an apartment block - too many people & the fact you probably couldn't have pets. I did once live in a semi-detached place, basically it was once 1 house but they split it in half & make it in to 2 smaller ones - that was ok coz the joining wall was solid & thick & since it was still only single level - it had bother a front & backyard. Currently i live in a normal, serparate house, i have what we call a standard block with your usual next door neighbours but we're only separated by a fence not by walls & all the neighbours i have a pretty good!
