I lived half my life in a detached house in countryside in Poland, then I moved to several big cities and lived in modern and communist-era commie-blocks. There are positives and negatives. I don't have problems with neighbors, but then I'm a pretty heavy sleeper. My wife had some problems sleeping when neighbors had a party at night, but that's still a pretty minor and rare inconvenience. On the other hand everything we might need is a 15 minutes walk or less, we barely need to drive a car. The air quality is much better in the winter, you don't need to mow the lawn or shuffle the snow. I wouldn't want to go back.
