Nothing kills the vibe of apartment living like trash neighbors. Same with houses, but it's just so much more pronounced in a multi-unit house.

Construction plays a large part. Apartment buildings in the US are flimsy (usually). In other cities, they're often built like vaults.

I have had problems with bad neighbors in my old apartment as well as out on county land. It's just a universal problem honestly. You are definitely right about American apartments sucking. But they have to get the money for parking from somewhere and it's usually building quality that suffers.
