I purposely moved around alot in my 20s to get different experiences. Not all apartments are alike. There's a really sense of community in smaller buildings with 100 or less units and not more than 6 per floor. The towers being built almost exclusively today are like anonymous vertical subdivisions with little interaction and little sense of community.
They are built for the masses. Like you say, for all types of people in all stages of live. The thing is, most people aren't that interested in others that are very different with their careers, religion, ethnicity, etc. and/or at different stages of life. For example, I look at college kids problems and just laugh now.
