As someone who lived in a few houses and now rent an apartment, when well done it is not bad at all. I don't hear my neighbours ever and my building is a renovated house, not even a new build with modern sound proofing. My location lets me walk to nearly everything I need, including the main bus terminal in my city. If you asked me 5 years ago I'd have said I could never live in an apartment and now it is one of my favourite places I've lived.
In my apartment building they ripped out the carpeting and padding of the unit above me. I couldn't hear the residents that lived above me at all when there was carpet, but these new neighbors are making lots of footfall noises with the hard floors. It's close to a nightly basis with them. Their footfalls will keep me awake past 11 pm.
