I live in a midrise condo in the suburbs of NYC. One thing I've noticed is that similar condos in the area have not risen in price significantly (if at all) whereas SFHs have.
Is this because of the pandemic that the demand of dense multi-family housing has stagnated while isolated SFHs have risen?
The thought has crossed my mind the past two years where I've encountered more rude, aggressive, and hostile fellow residents in my building. Our building staff members have commented the same. Pleas from building management to mask up or avoid riding the elevator with other households go unheeded. Likewise pleas to not smoke in outdoor, but common areas (lounges, rooftops, etc.) go unheeded, and now add marijuana smell as a bonus.
It's gotten to the point my wife and I specifically want to move to a SFH so that we don't have to deal with such people.

Boston metro, 6-unit building where I know almost all the tenants. Most of the rest of my neighborhood is 2 or 3 unit multifamily, and it really is a very pleasant density.
