[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We lived in a condo with a young child in the Bethesda area. A neighbor actually pulled me aside outside and said something along the lines of, “Look around, people with children do not live here. This is not an appropriate place for children.”

I was floored, it was an incredibly rude and inappropriate comment, but it was also rather true.

Having someone live directly below us who complained about every jump or ball bounce was incredibly stressful. We all felt an enormous relief when we moved into a SFH and my child could run around without fear.

DP. There are many families with children in our building. I've never had any issues whatsoever. How do people think families raise children in densly populated cities where detached homes are off limits or virtually non-existent?[/quote]

It really depends on the level of (or lack of) soundproofing, which varies highly from one condo building to the next.

I’ve been in one building where you could barely hear the family with little kids in the next unit, and another where you would be kept awake all night from crying babies next door.

The hard part is it can be difficult to tell how good or bad the noise insulation is during a 30-minute tour of a condo. Building materials give you some hints (steel and concrete vs wood) but even that isn’t foolproof.[/quote]
